[quote=Anonymous]Read through this entire post. There’s a lot of good information here. The reality is that no one is reviewing this stuff. However, if something stands out, seems truly unusual, or does not match up with the general narrative that is in the application or supported by the letter of recommendations, it will get more scrutiny. In my opinion, a little embellishment is normal. Kids actually tend not to talk up there accolades and activities enough. And they don’t see how important or relevant an extracurricular might be to the larger narrative. Help your kids with these activity lists and the wording to show impact. It should not just be a regurgitation. Should be very meticulous and well thought out. There is a lot of good advice on how to do this on Reddit. [/quote]
