[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- your school’s data or history is probably more important than you think.

- your kid needs to be memorable, especially at selective schools and the application should have a theme or narrative so that an AO can refer to you by a short phrase or tagline.

- watching results come in at our HS….major makes a HUGE difference. Example: UT OOS acceptance to Film school while all others deferred.

- [b]start the essays as soon as school ends junior year. The best essays took months of editing and refining. And better new ideas emerged from all that writing.[/b]

- use the search function here. I found good tips and links to help my kid with the activities list.

- be prepared for deferral and WL with draft LOCI[/quote]

haha! that’s crazy! My kid got in a lot of great schools and some essays he wrote on the spot.  He landed at UT Austin as an OOS.  He most certainly didn’t work on them for months, nor did he let us read them until after they were submitted. [/quote]
