[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our consultant is insisting my DC leave their college summer program off the activity list because it indicates privilege. It is a huge point of contention. DC wants it on the activity list because it is related to her major and the program has a low admit rate. DC is at a private school and parents professions indicate HHI, so privilege seems obvious whether DC lists the summer program or not. Not sure how we will proceed. [/quote]

We've heard that too, for programs with a difficult admissions process and very low acceptance rate. DC is attending anyway, but curious to hear what others think.[/quote]

My DC attended a program with a 10% admit rate that is run by the university, not an outside company. Transcript, 2 essays and a teacher recommendation was required. They do provide scholarships for those with financial need. The program relates to major. DC is listing it on all her applications. Should she include the admit rate in the activity description? Seems like a waste of words. [/quote]

Maybe say selective or competitive instead. They probably will be aware of how selective it is anyway. [/quote]
