[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 22 requests this year. I sat with every child to discuss what to put in them, took detailed notes, and have been cranking them out one at a time when I have a free hour (they don’t take 5 minutes). The ones that are due 11/1 are my agenda for this afternoon after my kids’ sports games.

Please understand that the total commitment is probably 1.5 hours. 20 minutes talking with your kid, 45-60 minutes writing it, 10 minutes filling out the common app ranking/checkbox questions, and 5 minutes filling out the summary questions on the form and uploading the pdf.

If you need it done faster I’m happy to speed it up, but then ChatGPT comes into play out of necessity.  My day job is already 10 hours of time. This is a weekend only project. (And yes, I could have written it in June but I have been burned too many times by kids who asked for it and never followed through with applying to schools that needed them. That’s 2 hours of time wasted, so I’m gun shy now and wait until my name shows up in the portal in August or September)[/quote]

Thank you for spelling this out. NP. IMO the system is broken when we expect teachers to do this. And don’t get me started when counselor letters are required when our huge public school counselors have 200 kids. They do not know our kids nor should we expect them to do anything but regurgitate what’s on the transcript and activity list.

Thank you for all you do![/quote]
