[quote=Anonymous]You don't need a private counselor and families can successfully help their own kids. The elite college acceptance trend does support kids who are specialists vs well rounded generalists. As a pp noted, parents can assess and help kid lean into their kid's academic strengths and genuine ec interests. Better to start earlier in hs to help kid identify programs to support their interests so they can create their narrative and have experiences to reflect upon in essays. We kept our kid focused on what they liked/were good at. Yes, kid had great grades and testing but didnt chase volunteer hours, team captain positions or rigor in every subject. They created their own path and they did have a clear story of what they did, why, and a future plan for college. This guiding strategy was very successful for my kid this cycle. We don't make the rules...[/quote]
