[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, but would DCPS furnished writing instruction get an above average high school senior who isn't particularly a self-starter academically but might have a "hook" at elite colleges (sport, legacy, music)? The terrain doesn't sound all that promising unless the family pays for the writing support. [/quote] I can’t comment on the football and crew recruits (6 are going to Ivy League schools between Cornell and Columbia)…I doubt they are paying for any writing support, but no idea. The legacy kids are also top performers academically, so again, don’t think they are paying for this. Other than Princeton, I am not aware of any other top college that needs to see your actual HS writing as part of the application…I guess they are making assumptions based on your essays[/quote]
