[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spelled it out for my kid junior year that his ECs were weak. He just didn’t want to change. He got into one top 25 with a lot of rejections and waitlists. It would have been fine if he’d gone to the targets and safety. At the end it’s their college experience and life lesson. Let it go. He may be upset to see less “academically smart” kids get into better schools thanks to ECs. [/quote] Agree. Let your kid know the reality of holistic admissions and then let them choose. Let them know that whatever they end up doing or not doing, they may need to be prepared to discuss it an an interview or in an essay. [/quote]
