[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can college admissions officers fall for this cr*p? A blog? Seriously?

[/quote]

If I was back in college and choosing classmates, I'd love to have one who was interested and enthusiastic enough about something to create a blog with regular and thoughtful writing or videos. But not one who was doing it just to get into college or with the assistance of a college counselor.[/quote]

No you wouldn’t. Because the actually pointy kids (I have one) are often neurodivergent and not polished with great social skills. [/quote]

I (poster who endorsed blogging) also have a neurodivergent kid with truly lousy social skills, but blogging about Irish dancing or ancient history or math puzzles or unicyling or another weird passion does not require social skills. (My kid doesn't have a passion nor does he blog, so he's going to whatever school takes kids with good grades but no hobbies other than watching Youtube.)[/quote]

Totally get it.

My pointy novel-writer did great with college admissions essay (I mean great by our standards not dcurbanmom), but my main objective in a school is finding one where someone will make them shower and the other kids are kinda like them. [/quote]

Let me know where your novel-writer kid ends up because my novel-writer kid needs the same.[/quote]
