Interesting experiences make us interesting people. And interesting people have more to write about in their college application essays.
Former Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust’s advice to parents wanting to raise a Harvard man or woman: “Make your children interesting!”
If you’re looking for an enrichment program to upgrade your high-school résumé, check out the QBE European Leadership School. We offer ambitious sailing expeditions on extraordinary classic yachts. You’ll learn how to sail a traditionally rigged boat. You’ll discover small magical ports and anchorages hidden away along the coastlines of western France and southern England. And you’ll get an up-close view of the region’s surprisingly vibrant coastal ecosystem. The places, the history, the culture, the experiences, the new friends—there’s no telling how many stories you’ll have to tell. Take your pick. If you can write, your essay could be… well, pretty impressive.
(No previous sailing experience necessary.)
