[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing some interesting opinions that I would assume admissions people would make the final decisions.  Is there actually anyone posting who is indeed an admissions person for a college/university?  Or at the least a college counselor in a high school?  No pretenders.

Otherwise, it's just speculation.[/quote]

[/quote]+2.  The recent opinion of the Harvard interviewer carries significant weight.  But I can definitely appreciate the experiences of posters with their experiences of their own child.  However, the Harvard interviewer sees volumes and volumes of applications.  I found his comment about GPA preservation to be serious food for thought as we are weighing the possibility of limiting a course because of an ongoing EC that will definitely play a key role in the application.  Thanks, Harvard interviewer, for your insightful remarks.[/quote]

The Harvard interviewer sees no applications. She meets with applicants and provides a write up to the admissions office that probably carries no real weight. My DC did 8 alum interviews this year. The only info they had on him was his name and email address, and that he had submitted an application. He did provide a resume to each one, but apparently that was unusual since several commented positively on that. None of them asked if he was taking AB vs BC calc. I am not sure his GPA even came up in the interview.
[/quote]I think that the Harvard interviewer who has commented here has been quite insightful.  I think you do him/her a disservice to assume what his activities are without inquiring.  I appreciate your thoughts but I think I'll keep reading and see what other tidbits of real information he might offer.[/quote]
