<p>When you guys look back on your high school careers and what you’ve achieved, what do you wish colleges could have known, or what aspect of your HS life (personal qualities, achievements, overcoming obstacles, etc…) do you think helped to gain you admission to your choice university? I’ve begun to ponder my common app essay, and I hope this can direct me towards reflecting on my own HS career and my uniqueness. Any ideas, class of 08ers? I would greatly appreciate ANY advice! Gracias</p>
