[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not follow all the advice but I would say 90% - you need to form your own opinions and trust your judgement. There is so much conflicting advice out there but I found the vast majority very helpful. I do think that submitting AP scores has gotten more important especially if test optional. Essay had some elements that they would have said to take out because of privilege. Activity list included one paid summer program (but omitted two others). Used a lot of advice for how to do some activities that are different from the sports/drama/music that everyone else spends the vast majority of their time on, how to provide brag sheets to recommenders, how to craft interesting activity lists, and how to approach essays. I do believe these things mattered a lot to my DC success which exceeded our expectations including with top 20.[/quote]
