[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD wrote about a trip to an orphanage in Ethiopia and got into an Ivy. She is a non-Christian who traveled with a Christian youth group simply because they were going to the orphanage where the little girl she tutored (after having been adopted) lived. She wrote about being an atheist and how uncomfortable she was with what the youth group leaders would say to people in a third world country, how it affected her to see where her tutoring girl came from and meeting the women who'd taken care of her, etc. [/quote] I think this is different because she had a personal connection to the trip. But, in general, these essays just tell admissions that your parents are wealthy and trying to buy you an essay topic. Much better to write about the job you had over the summer working in fast food. In fact, colleges want to see that applicants have actually worked a job. That helps more.[/quote]
