[quote=Anonymous]I think families and students have lost the plot! We should be spending more time trying to figure out the best environment that the student will thrive in first and what is the best "fit". If you do that right, your kid will not have to contort themselves years in advance to contruct a narrative or contort themselves into some kind of spiky candidate by artificial means. Stop chasing logos (style/prestige) over substance. Spend more time understanding what kind of education and support your student is seeking. Do a lot of research in advance, visit a few schools (not everything in the area) that you've pre-vetted and communicate authentic fit to schools that do fit. Don't try to fit your student into a mold just because the brand name is appealing.[/quote]
