[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The parent in the OP's post manufactured her child's entire backstory to fit a narrative she thought would make her an attractive applicant. [/b]It is the most cynical and inauthentic approach to college admissions I've heard in recent memory. It has nothing to do with your signing up some random children for a week long course. And your writing is atrocious......did you go to UVA?[/quote] This makes zero sense in the current environment. Do you think this neighbor was the only person who heard about the new program? The top colleges are deluged with piles of "story" apps. They accept only the tiny group of applicants who have achieved something that suggests rare skill. An essay on one's interest in film doesn't cut it, nor do a few years of film-specific extracurriculars. The more likely story is that the neighbor's kid won some kind of award or otherwise has more going for her than OP thinks.[/quote]
