[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One problem we encounter in admissions is the heavily curated application that shows extraordinary leadership and originality but the student has neither leadership nor originality. Even interviews don't really weed then out anymore as the stakes have gotten so high for some students that they have prepared for am interview like it was a PowerPoint presentation complete with jokes and anecdotes.[/quote] Sounds like you are in admissions! At our school, one teacher writes LORs giving credit for projects to her favorite kids even though it was someone else’s idea and work. So she can say that SHE got this kid into <prestigious school>, which is true but she leaves out HOW she got them in. Then those kids tell younger kids to join her club and do whatever the teacher says so that they can do well in admissions. Perhaps the videos will help a bit after all! [/quote]
