Totally agree. We did the research and DC tailored appropriately. This is where a counselor might come in handy if you don't have the time. But its totally doable by a parent.

Start all that research now. Create a different google doc for each RD school with the scoring rubrics, admissions priorities on the admissions page, watch AO videos on YouTube, and find former AO webinars. There is sooo much info and data out there. Use AI to help you compare your data to your DC's applicant data to figure out where the weaknesses are. All IEC are using AI now anyway.[/quote]
