[quote=Anonymous]I have been gathering information from college counselors that present to parents at our school as well as some online. But I’m the one helping my child. It’s fun and really special to hear them think through all the things they’ve done in HD and how to express that in their application. Writing the essay (the one about realization) ended up being really cathartic for DC. I can’t imagine them talking through these very personal things with a counselor or missing that parenting opportunity.

So interesting to listen to the college counselors though. They get so annoyed with the sports parents over and over again. You get one (maybe two) ECs for that. No sports awards don’t go in Honors and Awards sections and so on. Don’t write the essay about losing or winning the big game …

It’s like the first time the sports parents wake up and think omg my kid should have been doing other activities with all that time and money we spent in travel sports!  Of course recruited athletes are different and that can be the golden ticket :)[/quote]
