<p>I agree with you…me thinks that Admission folk are going to see ALOT of kids who feel content in the library and/or bookstore next fall. ALOT. With that prompt, I predict lots of libraries and Grandma’s living rooms.
I’d go with something way out of the box, or alot more personal. Hate to sound pessimistic, but I’d be way more concerned about her lack of involvement in high school via ECs than with her trouble over the essay prompts…Obviously her ACT score is fantastic but if she’s looking at schools the likes of Pomona that’s not nearly enough to get a second glance. Schools aren’t looking for “life changing”…they’re just looking for examples of engagement in life and efforts, on the applicants part, to make some sort of impact or leave some sort of fingerprint on the people around them.</p>
