[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What were the GDS essay questions? [/quote] I’m curious too![/quote] How would you describe your philosophy of life – your personal commitments, set of guiding principles, or deepest beliefs? How do you like to spend your time outside of school? What academic subjects most inspire you? Why? Write about a change you’d like to make in your school or neighborhood community. Describe a time when you encountered a particularly challenging situation. What was challenging about it, and how did you respond?[/quote] Those seem fine to me. Maybe the first one is a bit much, but a thoughtful 8th grader should be able to do it.[/quote] These are very similar to questions asked by other schools, including SSSAS, Burke and Field The first one is a bit over the top for kids who are 13/14. The number of essays required is also a bit excessive. Crazy process![/quote]
