[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote a very out of the box essay about my sport, and I got into everywhere I applied including HYPS. Granted, this was many moons ago, but I always question the conventional wisdom to do x or y, or don't do x or y in order to get into college. [b]Follow your passions. Be yourself, and be authentic.[/b] I think that's what matters. [/quote] Not as easy as it sounds.. Most schools, for example, expect a "service" type activity so a kid is forced to do one or at least make up one and write about it. What if the kid is struggling with mental health issues and is unable to focus on/care about work? I've been told on this forum, repeatedly, that's a no-no and not to write about it. They need to be authentic provided the 'authenticity' is in tandem with the college cartel overlords' expectations.[/quote]
