[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They absolutely do value service...and place significant importance on the answers to their short essay questions. I think this is where quite a few high stat kids stumble. Those questions are hard to answer well in such a short space. My DD told me off hand who of her friends were just "phoning it in" with their answers months ago, with several mentioning how dumb they felt the questions were. Well, surprise, literally all of those high stats kids are now waitlisted or declined. I think with so many high stat kids coming out of FCPS, things like significant service and thoughtful answers to their 4 questions can make a big difference. [/quote] My DC surprised us and was admitted with lowest quartile stats. Short answer questions reflected who they are (strong values yet sounded like a 17-year old kid wrote it) and must have made the difference. [/quote]
