[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone got in from DC’s school who has several patents pertaining to insects and has developed a novel mosquito repellent and is an amateur blacksmith etc etc. It’s kind of ridiculous. [/quote] Sounds super contrived to me. The 'unique' interests, passion projects, etc. almost seem comical and trite. Rarely genuine. Do admissions people really believe it or see through this stuff? I know a kid who, at the recommendation of a private counselor, spent years cultivating a niche environmental science topic with 'published research' for their college profile. The counselor created the plan and they were coached on the entire process. - but it worked because they are now at Duke! Just makes me skeptical when I hear things like this...[/quote] Sorry your kid was rejected.[/quote] This is such a boring "gotcha." People can comment on the admissions system without being policed too.[/quote]
