[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He says right in the video that he took major risks with his essays and at one point, he says he didn’t even answer Northwestern‘s prompt. [/quote] Why are people skipping over this? If you don't answer the college's essay question and submit your own "edgy" essay, you didn't do it right. [/quote] They weren’t “edgy”, but “risky”, and “high risk high reward”. My guess is that if someone would have edited and advised him on how to write a good essay, he would have gotten him into a top 10. For most people dumping on the kid, how many of your own take AP calculus in 9th and have the drive to self study for AP Physics C because the school offers only algebra based physics? The kid has grit, while the downers see grind. He will do fine at UCLA, and from what I’ve seen it’s a better fit for him than the other colleges he applied to.[/quote]
