[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many parents pay 25-50k for private college counseling and the kids aren’t getting into Michigan. Or Wisconsin.

A friend showed me her DC app. Whoa.
[b]The major choice sucks. [/b]
The essays are not distinguishing enough. 
The activity lists are generally blah.

Why are people paying this?!? For these results? Is this year an anomaly?

It’s shocking.

I haven’t paid a stand-alone counselor and DC has gotten into both OOS.

So I'm going to call this as baiting by a bored kid. This is silly.[/quote]

Nope.
A parent.

When you look at the class choice and the activities and the major is out of left field and does not match anything there. It makes you wonder if the counselor was just asleep at the wheel?

Sometimes I think kids pick these majors aspirationally? Almost like what they hope to study one day, not realizing they need evidence for it.

What a good counselor should have said no. You absolutely cannot do that because there is no good story.[/quote]
