[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge red flag to mention mental health issues in your essay. And to talk about anxiety over a B? What if she failed a class in college? Colleges worry about kids committing suicide or having a breakdown over grades. Some kids cannot handle the transition of going from super star status at their high school to being average or worse at a top college. [/quote] Ironically, she was right. Those Bs dropper her to 23rd in her class and removed her from contention for the schools she wanted to attend [/quote] And she tried to explain them with an essay assuming schools that preach no stigma and even went TO because they knew it was hard for kids wouldnt hold it against her. They did. I say this a lot but I can’t stand the hypocrisy of admissions officers. I’m happy she’ll be debt-free and Tempe is a fun place to spend your 20s. [/quote]
