[quote=Anonymous]- picking ECs, competitions, projects, summer activities? -- only in insisting they continue piano for a couple months longer and do one last piano competition. Making sure it was in 9th grade. It resulted in a National Award - choosing schools -- we insisted on some Rolling Safeties, some EA and one instate financial safety. No school above X dollar figure. Apply widely. We encouraged 10 - application story or strategy -- nothing's a Safety until you get in. - essays -- tried to pressure that they use, imo, the better of two essays. They didn't always listen. - reviewing the final common app? -- just for typos or errors What were/are the outcomes? They had wonderful choices. No surprises of not getting in where we thought. Glad they had some rejections for some high reaches. Never understand parents who shield their children from rejection. The happy surprise was merit aid.[/quote]
