[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not like people walk into a consultant’s office and say, “Gee, DC has a 1600 SAT and 4.0 unweighted GPA. Do you have any suggestions on where he should apply?” [b]The conversation is instead, “What kind of things can he do to make him stand out from the pack?” And contrary to what the posters here seem to think, the answer isn’t to just write a brilliant essay. In fact, the kids who have achieved to this level have worked hard and are proud of their accomplishments.[/b] They don’t really want someone to swoop in and write an essay for them. [/quote] Ok, so kid has perfect grades and test scores, and college counselor isn't going to swoop in and write an essay for them. What is CC going to do to make the kid "stand out from the pack?" By spring of junior year it's a little late to become involved in new extracurricular activities. Is the CC going to ensure that the kid gets elected to leadership positions or win awards? [/quote]
