[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am only looking for a coach, but one thing I am sure of: an English teacher is not enough! It has to be someone who knows what colleges are looking for. It’s a genre in and of itself.
I am going through the YouTube videos of someone called The College Essay Guy. I have no idea if he takes clients but he has some good ideas. [/quote]

This whole discussion is sad to me. It sounds like gaming the system.

Your kid's essay is supposed to be about: your kid. Not "what colleges are looking for." It is also supposed to demonstrate his or her creativity and writing ability.

If only wealthy people embraced a fair playing field and ethics. But no, they spend their days whining about being "unhooked" or Asian. About donut holes and their private schools not allowing their kids to take AP's.

You sound like an idealist who is completely out of touch with reality. Are you a retired teacher, by any chance?[/quote]

I’m with the PP on this one. We considered hiring a college counselor to help with all of this, because, of course, this is a crucial moment in our child’s life, blah blah blah.

While we want DC to have every advantage, we also think he is enough as he is. He didn’t want outside help and we are cool with that. He’ll be fine.[/quote]
