[quote=Anonymous]AP Calculus and during summers your child built latrines in Guatemala.   You don't need a college counsellor, you need a party planner - Your child is IN!

Sorry - you said, please no snark, but it was too easy!

Obviously, you love your child very much and like good parents you want only the best for your children. If you feel life is not worth living without a degree from a top 20 school then by all means hire a college counsellor. Wilson high School used to have a woman who was great.

However, for most mortals life doesn't begin or end based on Ivy League acceptance letters.

Your child exceptional and I'm serious this time!  AP Calculus in high school is a significant achievement  Hundreds of great colleges across the country would love to accept your child without forcing he/she to stand on their heads and spin like a top. They may also offer interesting and unusual programs of which you are not even aware.

Be kind to yourself and to your child - look beyond the bubble and you just may find happiness. However, if only the will do, I've given you a contact person who can package your child perfectly and get those acceptance letters rolling in.

Sorry for the early snark - wishing your family well in this difficult year ahead. [/quote]
