Boston Globe: College applications can be too good

<p>

</p>

<p>I have two of these kids. They’re thinkers. They stink at limited time writing assignments, a la the SAT. But, give them a few weeks to let it simmer and time to revise their drafts a few times (as in application essays) and their writing is quite good.</p>

<p>I sure hope colleges are not going to take a pass on the thinkers. What a waste that would be… :/</p>
