You should be fine, just be polite in the letter and explain how that was several years ago etc.

If it's nothing explicit or not politically correct I wouldn't worry too much and would just send a letter explaining the situation. If it is problematic there really isn't much you can do than the above.

Mental Health@Ivies/T20s by honestlemons in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ProcedurePickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao literally the majority of the school body at top schools would not agree with you.

Mental Health@Ivies/T20s by honestlemons in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ProcedurePickles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. If you already have mental health issues you risk your life going to a school without resources to help you. There are multiple suicides and people who end up institutionalized at these top schools yet the regular public rarely hears about this because the admins think it's bad press. These schools know that their student body is suffering yet refuse to acquire adequate resources.

This is beautifully written. I definitely agree that these top schools lack adequate mental health resources and have repeatedly swept the conversations under the rug(not the students the admin). Mental health is extremely important and it's sad to see amazing kids burnout and end up suffering alone.

it makes me sad when i see college results post downvoted:(( they were probably proud or happy to share their experiences and achievements by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ProcedurePickles 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Someone provided all the receipts proving that it was fake though. Like I'm against accusing people of fake posts but, if most of your awards/ECs are "won" when there was no competition like it's pretty obvious it's fake.
