[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sara H. & Co. should not be your main source of information. [/quote]

She is still relying on her experience 10 years ago to inform current students. She is shockingly misinformed of current AO practices.

This just makes me so sad for kids who don’t have college educated kids, parents who aren’t prepared to make educating themselves in this way a full time job, or the ability to pay for a college counselor.

Say what you will, but this comment is a perfect example of why the rich will get richer.[/quote]

Not sure why this comment makes you think this. This comment makes me think how rich people are probably wasting their money or not getting their monies worth, etc. [/quote]

It’s not just that they don’t know what resources to use, they may not even know what questions to ask or how to find the answers to those questions.  Knowing some mysterious group of schools like to see resumes feels like something I never knew until this thread and I’m an invested parent.[/quote]

Right…but that has nothing to do with saying AN claiming that you should not include 4s on AP exams doesn’t translate to feeling sad for kids with uneducated parents, sad doe kids who can’t afford a college counselor, and that it shows the rick get richer. People who pay for AN and get bad advice is not showing you that the rich get richer. It’s more a fool and her money are soon parted. [/quote]

Yes, but how would you know it is bad advice without surfing the universe of advice givers and collating individual information from each AO, each school, and lots of peoples experiences.  If you aren’t even aware there is that much knowledge in the universe, it’s your first time doing this, and you don’t have unlimited time, financial resources, or connections, the pathways seems to become much slimmer.

How can you even prove its bad advice?  I was in AN with one of my kids (not doing again).  My kid had very high stats (1580 SAT, 4.0 UW, 4.8 W, 13 APs).   Sara H advice was to not submit the 3 4s.   My kid insisted on submitting because they were proud of their 4s on English/history tests as a STEM major.  Not admitted to an T20 whereas other kids that submitted no scores were.   I don't think that was the reason myself, but the truth is no one truly knows what is "bad advice" [/quote]

You are always compared to your school’s peers. That should guide every decision you make for the entire process.[/quote]
