- picking ECs, competitions, projects, summer activities?… I strongly encouraged DC to do a certain EC that they had some relevant prior experience with since I knew it would be a great fit and it was. Helped with finding volunteer stint options. Helped with lining up junior year internship (casual one with a family friend). Had them sign up for summer classes so leave room on their normal schedule. 
- choosing schools?…I picked almost all the schools DC looked at. I would mark up 🆙 nes in the big books of college overviews and encourage DC to find more to consider but they did not. They shipped the ones I found. 
- application story or strategy? … DC had no “application narrative” 
- essays?…I helped review many drafts and gave edits. We hired an essay coach but that was useless in the end 
- reviewing the final common app?… yes. Most of it.

What were/are the outcomes?  Ended up ED’ing to a SLAC for DC’s sport (accepted with merit). DC is a bit wistful about some other pricier options but overall seems satisfied. [/quote]
