That was in a thread about Williams acceptances. You're assuming that applies to the Swarthmore essays. I don't believe myronnie has said anywhere that her mother wrote her essays to Swarthmore.

I don't think there was anything unreasonable about my advice, whatsoever. I'm with Canela. What we "made" our daughter do was treat admissions reps she had met and communicated with during the process with respect and that included the courtesty of a personal e-mail to three or four college adcoms advising them of her decision to enroll elsewhere.

Wow, great. You're so morally superior to myronnie's mother. I'm really in awe. But, seriously, boasting about your own parenting is hardly an excuse for butting in on someone else's relationship with her mother, especially someone you know in the context of a paltry 14 posts on an internet forum. I don't know why you think it's appropriate to advise some high school kid to go behind her mother's back and communicate with college admissions officers, but it's not. Your understanding of the situation is superficial, at best, and definitely not substantial enough for you to start playing family counselor.

And, BTW, myronnie better hope like heck that the college where she deposited doesn't still read their forum here. Two years ago that college withdrew the acceptance of a student based on statements made about drug use and drinking made by the student on CC.

Considering how easy it would be for a high school arch-nemesis to come here and spoof someone, that seems like pretty poor admissions office policy. I would definitely hope that Swarthmore wouldn't base its admissions decisions on information here but, rather, on the information it receives directly from the applicants.
