My son got hooked on the British East India Co. last year in World History. He read about it on his own and talked about it (and he rarely talks about school). [/quote]

And see, this is the kind of thing that the SAT/ACT will never measure.  It's a complete shame that kids like this go unrecognized.

Another way to look at it: kids like this CAN get this interest recognized by participating in activities like National History Day, and they can also write about their interests in their essays. Part of the admissions process for kids is figuring out how they stand out from their peers and how to share that in their applications. [/quote]

I’m the “Ottoman Empire” poster, and my DC has earned awards in Scholar’s Bowl and Model UN, but I’m also hoping that the teacher recommendations help with this, as well.  If my DC’s letters match what the teachers have said to me orally, they will reflect this.  However, that’s tricky, because at the end of the day it’s luck to get a teacher that “gets” your kid and is willing to write a good letter. [/quote]
