[quote=Anonymous]I work for a giant company with plenty of people overseas (including me for 7 years) and college counseling is a perk in our package. I've had two kids now get into T10 colleges and really wish I worried less about this. Certainly, your life in the next 5 years matters more. High school in the Netherlands could be really awesome, especially if kids are on board. Your kids will be American and, like all kids, will be judged based on the context of their school. There's a lot about narrative in the college process. Counselors like to make money by saying that has to start in 7th grade. My own kids looked back at what they did summer before senior year and built a narrative in reverse. Your kid will have a story. A "community essay"? check. A "when I disagreed with someone essay?" check. They'll be fine. And possibly open to UK or EU schools, which would be awesome.[/quote]
