[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who finds HS founders of non-profits to be borderline insulting? I worked in the non-profit world, so did dh. These are serious places and it takes as much (if not more) work than a business to be a really successful one. I know bc we now own a successful business. It's not some vanity project to be started by a 17 year old. So annoying. Change my mind.[/quote]

Absolutely this. Along with “research.” Come on. It’s a rote, meaningless checking of boxes. When so many applicants are showing up with awesome profiles you don’t need one more thing that can be “achieved” by all the others as well. [b]You need a personality that catches the attention of someone reading your file,[/b] an unusual skill, an/or whatever profile combination the admissions office is looking for at that moment in time.

I find this more insulting than starting a non-profit or research. So if you can spin a tale, or pay someone to spin it for you, that is better?

I feel for you OP (and DC), we may be in the same boat next year. DD very similar stats and looking for the same schools.
