OP, I am with you that having a letter printed in the NYTimes indicates you said something valuable! From your other thread I know writing and journalism are important to you. You might use the letter in your essay, if it makes sense. It’s an example of writing/engagement/critical thinking, and, frankly, something very very few other applicants will have. By itself, it’s not going to move the needle, but I think it’s a great illustration of important aspects of you. So, it’s not an achievement you would list, but something you might use to illustrate a strength of yours.
