[quote=Anonymous]While obviously test scores, GPA and course path/rigor are important, your kid’s ability to tell a unique story about themselves in the essays (vs having totally unique EC or something mind blowing like curing cancer) is incredibly important. DD was a leader of several different clubs that were not impressive on their own, but she was able to show how they fit into a bigger picture of who she is—ie they were deliberate moves or stepping stones to learn about X in her pursuit of Y. Obviously I have no way of knowing for sure if that’s what helped her stand out, but she did very well in the application process and was happy with her results. [/quote]
