[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the NY mag article today (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/college-admissions-educational-consultants-command-education.html)

And it made me wonder what were the successful, pointy (or otherwise surprising) narratives that you saw that worked in your student community this year?
Both authentic and manufactured narrative's?
Private school or public?
Region?

Not because I want to emulate them (and I have a senior anyway)… But bc I think more widespread visibility into these types of practices / shenanigans will be helpful to all.

Both my kid and friend had great pointy narratives. My kid as a blend of arts and stem interests,  friend focused on service, starting with home situation that inspired passion for blend of economics and service.

Neither was a shenanigan. These were authentic. The supposition that it's all curated or a sham is whack. That may be true for some but not the majority.  Many of the friends at my kid's college are genuinely pointy or multi-spikey. Interesting,  bright,  talented people. [/quote]
