[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Long story short, she ended up being accepted in all Poolesville and RMIB programs. She was at 99th percentile with reading and math at that time. No competitions, no major engagements. What I think has made a difference is her essay as her friends did not had the same results with similar stacks."

Could you share how her essay was different from her friends who didn't have the same results for acceptance? [/quote]

Different poster here, but my kid was in the same situation. I think their essay was attention getting with an clear hook and spoke to their strengths. It demonstrated passion, team work, enthusiasm, motivation and academic success while also showing some interests that were different from the crowd. It was also in their voice and didn’t sound pompous or like a parent had written it. There was a good balance between being humble and showcasing their abilities. I don’t know what was in the other kids essays with similar stats that didn’t get in.[/quote]
