[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So tell us what mistakes they made. [/quote] Did not apply for any outside scholarships. 4.0 GPA but submitted good not great test scores when she should not have. Did not know about app fee waivers. Did not know she is technically a under-represented minority. Did not apply to any T25s when they have the most financial aid and their family is MC. Essays were dime a dozen cliche. She is deeply involved in a really, really hook-ish activity but she did not mention it at all because she was embarrassed. They think the automatic tuition discounts regional non-selective universities are offering them are amazing scholarships only offered to her. They are letting the mailers they random receive drive their interest.[/quote] Every essay is cliche except for the ones that are trying too hard. The sad part is how many kids who don't realize that the best and most expensive schools are usually the cheapest for middle class families. [/quote]
