[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post suggests that what you want to ask is:

- Will you fudge grades so all the kids look awesome for admissions?

- If my kid gets a 3.5 or lower, do you have any  magic tricks to make Harvard love him anyway?[/quote]

Are you ok?  Why so snarky?  No, I am OP and I am worried about my child. I feel, in 7th grade, I’m starting to sense an unhealthy trend. I don’t wish Harvard for her, I want to her to end up where she belongs. Thank you for your constructive input. [/quote]

Because this is ridiculous. Your child will end up where they belong and no college counseling office will really have an impact on that.[/quote]

Thank you. I haven’t gone through this process, so I will admit that I’ve been influenced in to fear by some posts on here. I would like to believe that what you say is true, but it just doesn’t seem like that’s what people are experiencing. [b]So I guess I wonder if I leave my child where she is, where she’s happy, but the work is getting difficult and she’ll be a mostly B student, or move her somewhere else. [/b]

And back to the original question, how do I get to the root of it all?  I don’t even know what questions to ask. It never would’ve crossed my mind to ask about the average gpa of the class. [/quote]

This is not a college admissions question. You know your child: does she like working hard? How does she feel seeing many peers be more successful at school than she is? Does she rise to the occasion when challenged or does she get overwhelmed? Are there things important to her outside of school that she wants time for? How does she feel about 3+ hours of homework?

Give your child the best high school environment *for her* and college will take care of itself.[/quote]
