[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Writing and drawing are extracurriculars. There are ways to explain those. She may also be involved in things you are not aware of. My understanding is that essays are much more important than the activity list.[/quote] She would need to have a portfolio or some acknowledgements in competitions. Just saying "i like to write" or "I like to draw" in and of itself isn't going to mean much when there are other applicants who have written and submitted work that captured awards etc.[/quote] We don’t know that she doesn’t. The OP isn’t likely to know because with friends like this… As a mom of two young adults, it’s mostly impossible to assess other kids’ ECs unless you are an AO looking at the whole package write up. Even if you think you know what your friend’s kids do in general, you are unlikely to know all the details.[/quote]
