[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's tough. Help with the research....

so, for Stanford (as an example), I helped with a Google Doc of classes, cool profs, ECs, interesting articles from the paper, and events I saw.

links to everything in the Google Doc to shortcut the process. DC added more as well, but good starting point.[/quote]

How do you find "cool profs"? Trying to help my DD but don't know where to start![/quote]

Np. It's not really cool, it's finding profs whose academic interests align with your kid's own niche interests.

If your kid is into medieval studies but also migration trends and/or international relations/MUN, for example, with a focus on the Med and North Africa, and applying to Brown, I'd definitely mention this professor below by drawing parallels between modern refugee/migration crises and how this professor's study of how "barbarian" migrations transformed Roman identity.

Your kid has the intellectual curiosity, but might need you to give them links to the right professors. Then they'd connect the professor's specific research lens (identity, connectedness, cultural transformation) to something your DC has encountered, even if DC hasn't studied 5th-century vandals specifically (yet).....

Make sense? All you do is give kid link to prof and maybe mention a few topic words?[/quote]

Lady, you need to land the helicopter.  Gross.[/quote]
