[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who work as admissions coaches. Specifically, essay coaches seem to fare the best.[/quote] Agree. Great essays and strong LOR (coached with detailed brag sheets relating why & how teachers class impacted kid, led to passion about academic area, created intellectual curiosity) are the main differentiators at private HS. [/quote] I disagree about the LORs needing to be coached with brag sheets. I would say the LORs should be written by teachers and counselor without them needing to see a brag sheet. My kid was rated best of career in 2 LORs (saw admissions file) and did not submit brag sheet at all. In fact the LoRs were the main reason to get into Harvard per AO comments as they showed a side that did not come through in rest of application. [/quote]
