[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to state what video games Kid B plays before we can answer.[/quote]

Have heard AOs speak about kids who write essays about their video games….
It doesn’t end well.[/quote]

This. 
Kid B should not mention the gaming unless he has other activities to back up his interests. Schools want active engaged vibrant students on campus, not ones sitting in their dorm rooms gaming in solitude. It’s actually a real issue.[/quote]

My kid wrote about games, and did great in admissions (and has and still has tons of ECs, including athletics (captain and MVP) and the arts, plus academic awards). It's what he wants to create. It is a completely ridiculous trope to say that because kids value the industry (a vibrant, lucrative industry), that they will be in their dorms in solitude. That is false. The industry has incredibly talented writers, producers, musicians, artists, coders, engineers, designers, project managers, IP lawyers, etc., etc. It is more difficult to produce a video game than a block buster movie.[/quote]
