[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about church stuff? Write it or not?[/quote]

My daughter is very spiritual and devout. She isn't writing solely about "church stuff." But her essays are sprinkled with aspects about her faith. Might be a turnoff for some schools, but so be it.[/quote]

Catholic schools love this. [/quote]

20 years ago at least, Harvard loved this. I talked all about my faith in my application and interview and got in.[/quote]

Harvard probably won't "love" it any more[/quote]

Harvard has a whole ass divinity school. They have a chaplain with one of the cushiest endowed chairs on campus, and weekly religious services lavishly supported and promoted by the university, in a historic chapel at the heart of campus. And perhaps most importantly, they have a large and underutilized religious studies department in the faculty of arts and sciences that they are always looking for students for. So yes, Harvard absolutely does want to hear about people's faith. Now, honestly, if you write an essay about how Jews and sodomites are going to hell, that's going to deep six you pretty fast. But a mature and sensitive [b]expression of religious faith[/b], if it's important to you, is absolutely going to be well received at Harvard and most of the ivies.[/quote]

At a religious school, that's fine. But at other? You can check a religion box if needed on the app to tell them what you are if you feel the need to tell.[/quote]
