Re: Make it Loud: Petition to add FIRST on the Common Application
I found it very weird that it seemed like FRC was a very banal thing for a high school kid to do--it wasn't at all weird and they'd heard about it a million times before--but on the other hand, there didn't seem to be any official recognition for FRC. It's like it's expected that anyone interested in engineering has done it (and if they have, it's nothing special) but they're surprised that you'd want to put it on an application.

Thanks for putting this together. This is a great idea, I just hope the Common App gets their act together for once and makes this right.
