[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how much other parents helped with the essay answers for the MCPS high school application. I’m usually big on DD taking care of her own ‘assignments’ but this is relatively high stakes and I don’t want her at a disadvantage because she’s less able to describe her accomplishments than other kids parents are. The 25 word answers seem particularly challenging, as it takes real skill to concisely and compellingly explain a class project or the significance of an award. Right now on the longer “tell us about yourself” part I’m inclined to leave 95% to her with a light review, but worry about that too.

Especially interested in experiences from people with kids who got into (or didn’t get into) the criteria programs in past years. If you let your kids do the application totally themselves, did they still get in? I hope I live in a world where that’s the norm, but am guessing it is not.[/quote]

How can we see what the essay is?  I looked at the link on parentvue and see the questions that include 25 word answers, but where is the essay?[/quote]
