Hi,
I was wondering if it is worth it to submit the character skills snapshot? All the boarding schools I’m applying to strongly recommend that we submit the snapshot (exeter, hotchkiss, choate, etc.).
I got demonstrating for all but initiative (got developing for that), so i was wondering if this would hinder my admission chances, etc. any info would be appreciated, thanks!
Per Hotchkiss (excerpt below from website) I did not read this as a ‘STRONG recommendation’. We chose not to submit as it did not reflect DDs character.
“While the Character Skills Snapshot is not mandatory for applicants to Hotchkiss, please know that it is an informative tool to help us appreciate your non-cognitive attributes, and to understand more fully how best to shape an educational experience that will prepare you for a life of meaning and consequence.”

Isn’t demonstrating the highest you can get? Are you actually asking if getting the top designation in all but one category will hinder your application? Submit the test, schools aren’t making decisions based on it.
You are 14. Don’t think that schools expect you to be a perfectly fully formed adult.
