[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't. My kid got into several T10s last year. He's at an Ivy this year. He didn't write anything about sports. And the sport and title 'captain' was featured in the common app activities. [b]He had a lot of injury and obstacle overcome in the sport ---but wrote nothing about it.[/b][/quote] +1 Colleges don't want to hear about overcoming adversity and definitely stay away form the "d's" - death, divorce and disease. They get way too many essays on those and none of them are unique.[/quote]
