[quote=Anonymous]Many people didn't know this. Colleges evaluate students in the context of their high school. What's important is how you set yourself apart from other kids in the school. If you are in an elite private school full of rich kids, a summer trip to Italy is not going to differentiate you from the rest. If you are in a magnet public school, research on curing cancer is dime a dozen. If you are an URM in a majority white school, a lived experience essay will set you apart from the crowd. My URM kid was heavily involved stem research, which made them really stand out in their inner city school. It really doesn't have to be unique, but it got to be different from other kids in the same school.[/quote]
