My D22 is struggling with this. She wants to add context about her magnet program. We’ve seen the school profiles and it is not at all descriptive, just notes its existence. It’s a big public school and the counselors each have hundreds of kids so there is no personalized info. Several videos we’ve watched recently— Essay Guy, several schools, also say they want this information about programs and course choices in additional information.
Here’s where I have the most heartburn — her explanation also notes that these courses, while considered honors level, are not weighted. Thus, it reflects in her weighted GPA. She’s doing this very succinctly and factually. It’s not whining- she gladly is in the program - but it is explaining an area that may give AOs pause. I think it’s worth it, but who knows.
