[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an IEC and I won't do the last proof. It is too risky for me - ultimately I don't have control. For example, I just looked at one of my client's Common App (I am added as an advisor, which means Read Only) and noticed that she did not add my previous suggestions and has already submitted many applications. I can give suggestions but I can't force a student to accept them. I also have a student who has a horrible habit of accidentally checking or unchecking a box when he goes in to fix a mistake. The final read-through has to be the kid's/family's responsibility before they hit submit.[/quote]

Shouldn’t this always be the student’s choice? We talk about bad advice that should be ignored on these boards all the time. The last example was SH suggesting you title the EC related to cooking for a shelter as Cooking on Sundays! And you mention how it is to bring sustenance to those in need. [/quote]

Yes, it is 100% the student's choice. Always. The corrections I am describing weren't out there suggestions, but they weren't glaring either. Along the lines of being consistent with verb tense or structure in the activities section. But even if it is a typo, I can't be responsible if I point it out and then the student does not correct it.

(For what it's worth, I strongly disliked that "Cooking on Sundays" suggestion and would never suggest that!)[/quote]
