[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was most disappointing is watching kids similarly situated to your kids getting into t10 and yours not....can't help to wonder what went wrong and feel that your kid didn't get what they deserved. We all know how kids compare [/quote] I’m not an admissions counselor but a HS teacher. If you really want your kid to stand out, tell them to find a part time job, stay at it and get someone there to write an additional recommendation. So many of my students are “founding companies” or starting clubs. They are all going away to fancy summer programs or internships or CITs (which means their parents have $$$$ to pay for these or connections). They all write down thousands of volunteer hours that no one verifies. Get a job, show work ethic and real life collaboration and that they can work with people. Then they will stand out. [/quote] Find some principle — and stop working at a rich kid school. [/quote]
