[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems cheesy and like a last ditch effort to me.

This could have (and should have) been addressed in the student's personal essay as part of their application.  To get to the final weeks, right before decisions are made, and to come in begging seems a little cheap to me.  Why don't you send a gift too?

Maybe I am in the minority, but I think the kid's record and application should stand on its own.  We have also stayed out of our kid's education path.  They advocate for themselves.  They do their own work. They write their own essays.  By the time a kid is applying to HS, let them handle their application.

My kid is the one that approached his teachers for recommendations.  He handed in the transcript request form, etc.

Frankly, I would be suspicious of any parent that was always bugging admissions and sending letters, etc.  My 'future major pain-in-the-ass' meter would be blowing up.

If my kid is going to get rejected, he will get rejected on his own.[/quote]
