[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a pretty typical white UMC suburban boy, wrote his essay about his job at a country club... it was a mundane setting but it was all about introspection and gaining an understand of the world around you. And, though i know you all say high school kids can't write, it was extremely well written, both moving and funny. I have no idea if the admissions counselor liked it, but he got into his ED school so it certainly didn't hinder him. [/quote] +1 I have kids who (thankfully) really can write - all excel at it. The PP who keeps claiming high schoolers “aren’t good writers” does not speak for everyone. I sincerely hope admissions officers don’t assume my kids’ essays were written by someone else. Some kids excel at math, science, etc. Others are born writers.[/quote]
