[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, your senior does not have to have a clue about her major right now. Look at what schools will best support her needs. [/quote] It actually does help if you can show a college you have a "passion" about something like opera singing or architecture or the history of the middle ages, and tell a story about yourself that includes summer activities and high school coursework in support of your passion. A passion isn't necessary, but I understand it can help. There was a (fairly repellent) article in the NY Times earlier this week or maybe last week (DH sent it to me) about high school kids who pay consultants to pull together "narratives" that look consistent, including recommending key summer activities that underscore and tie together the kid's story about his or her passion. (And no, we're not hiring one of these consultants.) [/quote]
