[quote=Anonymous]I wrote what I guess you guys would consider a rather cliche essay about my first trip abroad visiting my family in a foreign country, what it's like to see real poverty for the first time, seeing old stuff for the first time, etc. It got me into Duke. They know that your kid is over-privileged and rich already. They'd probably rather admit all the kids who have struggled with real adversity, but those people tend not to have any money, so they're a minority. Your kid's chances are better than you think![/quote]
