[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lonely senior capstone project isn't serious. The set up and execution were left to us and there was no funding to support our girl's project. What we mostly did with fall of senior year was have her prep for a couple Nov Cambridge International exams, one A-Level (language, pitched around two years past AP) and an AS-Level, half an A-Level in a subject not taught at BASIS that she loves (marine biology). Our kid was concerned that some of her 11th grade AP scores could have been better and wanted to bump up her results portfolio. She took the exams NYC. The language worked out great after a month-long summer immersion program abroad, which we paid for. In the spring, she volunteered at an aquarium in the area, also arranged by us. We hired our own college counselor after our girl complained that the BASIS counselor had a tin ear. If you only want to hear positives, ask others. [/quote] OMG. Not you again.[/quote]
