[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say it's the kids who seem to magically check every box. Like, of course they have great grades and played a varsity sport and have a couple of leadership roles. But then you're reading the supplemental essays, and OMG, they had a magical encounter with a homeless man while doing their weekly volunteer time. And then WOW, they created an app to put an end to food waste. And WHOA, they taught themselves Creole to connect better with the lunch lady? I know a few of these. :D [/quote] And… did they get in? You are rolling your eyes at this but unless their admissions officers called you up and said they rejected these… friends’ kids? because they seemed overly coached, then… what is your point? [b]I remain frustrated and irritated at this process. Do a lot! Don’t do too much. Be authentic. But amazing. Sigh. This whole process sucks for students today. [/b][/quote] Agreed!![/quote]
