[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. The conventional wisdom on what topics to avoid changes every year. But this is a tough one to pull off without looking like a cliche. See also, "how the pandemic affected me" and "how my sport changed my life." There are ways to make these work, but the best idea is usually more personal and less expected. [/quote] So let’s take the kid in the OP - seems like he’s had a pretty secure and cozy upbringing. What was he supposed to write about?[/quote] Something meaningful in his life that he didn't "pay to play". And perhaps recognizing if he can't find that something, then maybe he's not "T20"/reach school material. Majority who do get into those schools have an extra"IT" going on---many are genuinely just "a step above with genuine work" than the majority that get denied admission[/quote]
