Important Question About Essays or College Apps!!

Aug 26 (edited) in College Apps

Hey Everyone! How Are You Doing with College Apps? I hope you are doing well 😅!

I would Like To know your opinion about smth about Essays: ( A Student's Question )

Let's say you are a student, an international one, living in a third-world country, not anyone, where opportunities are rare, where schools don't have clubs, don't offer APs ( In our country, we don't have hard courses, but hard sectors, for example, when you reach 10th grade, you have to choose, based on your grades, the sector you want to study in 11th grade, and after in 12th grade, so I chose the hardest one: science math ( Is it considered as a hard course in the US? ) ) or promote students to compete in competitions, don't help students get into Olympiads a lot, where students and professors, both 😅, find research smth strange and unbelievable for a high school student ( so no Labs or Profs to help you ), where national or international competitions aren't promoted and given for High school students as it is in other countries, where applying to US can be strange sometimes, where ECs opportunities aren't professional and are quite rare.

According to this situation, does a student living in these limiting conditions need to state them in his essays ( some parts of course ) in a professional, maybe a great way?

I don't want colleges to understand it as excuses, because I have done some things that prove I don't like excuses in my ECs 😅, but I do want them to know the reality. It is as if someone is saying: " If I were a US student, I could be a Greater nice profile and student and Do tons of great things ".

Note please that I want a verified, sure, professional, exact answer to this question which seems super important to me. If you are a Harvard student or have some great connections, don't hesitate please to ask them. Thank you so much guys for help!!!!
