what essay topics?

OP didn't say the essay topics. she said kid is weighing a couple: one which demonstrates more of a distance traveled story and one that connotes some wealth. and is asking, in 2025, what will colleges want more.

I think for the last 10 years, AOs really liked the distance traveled. especially in the last two cycles when they couldn't look at race and were looking at wealth as a proxy.

This year, I bet we see more leaning into full pay.

If essays were equal in other ways, I'd go for the one that signals some means. if it shows depth of character, academic interest, etc. But that's assumed.

In my apartment building we have such a kid. Kid grew up with addict mom, moved in with aunt for high school.

DCUM is a very suburban vanilla population where all the kids have Invisalign and all the parents are triggered by pronouns. This is not the place for a nuanced discussion about class. They think you're coming for their lax bro kid's spot. [/quote]
