Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5299680, member: 44"] Yeah, I was just curious if you knew anything that might've beefed up their resume. In my town, there was a kid who was, at best, a mediocre student, non-athlete, who also had a fairly significant drug problem. He started to get his stuff together, late in his junior year and ended up writing a pretty poignant essay about his addiction. It was good enough to make at least one out of state university give him a shot. Fast-forward more than a few years, he's just starting his residency at a prestigious hospital on the West Coast. You never know what will make an applicant interesting. I will say whoever the admissions officer was who handled his case for undergrad, made the right read on that, for whatever reason. [/QUOTE]
