[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see the DOJ suing private universities for promoting “lived experiences”[/quote]
It's the right thing to do. They better do it![/quote]

Thats silly.  Lived experience is what contributes to who we are.  For example, a student demonstrating grit by overcoming homelessness or poverty is a lived experience.  Why should that not be shared?  Because that might give them a boost over student from a wealthy family in a private high school with well funded research opportunities and test prep?  Please...[/quote]

They can incorporate that into any essay or supplemental. These lived experience ones have become the mandatory essays and they are pretty stupid.  These kids are 18. 90% of them haven’t “lived” yet. [/quote]

Your kid truly has no lived experience to discuss? It’s not that hard to find something to write about.  A little creativity would help.[/quote]

My kid does not. No hardship story at least. She's lived a normal MC life so far w/o tragedy - as did I and most other kids from my HS back in the dark ages when I was applying to college. The problem is now the expectation that these 17 year olds are all crazy super human stand outs just to get into a strong non-Ivy. [/quote]
