[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't see any difference in outcome between the two groups in the end.

Savvy parents who understand "narrative" can help their kids. I did it in reverse. Let them live their lives, and organize it into a "story" summer before senior year.  Two at T10 school[/quote]

With this approach (and I applaud you), don’t you take the risk of having holes in your narrative that you can’t turn back time to fill if you’re missing some essential courses or activities? [/quote]

NP. We also did this (looked backwards in 11) and it worked out (T10/Ivy for 2 kids).Helped them with a narrative. No essay coaches but did use Application Nation.

The key was intellectual depth in the essays in my opinion and showing a deep authentic academic interest in something niche. How? The essays....they mattered a LOT. Make sure your kid reads a LOT - just for fun - and has a wide base of knowledge. It will help with generating random ideas for the essays. [/quote]
