| Having come from a school with fabulous college counselors with small numbers of students to work with, I am a believer in strong counseling making a big difference. Many of my friends ended up with very different essays than they started with.
I did a search and found that "andison" will get you to the posts about the top student rejected from every college the first time around. Andi's son had much better success the second time, and I wonder if they engaged a counselor.
Because transferring into a top college is even harder than getting in as a freshman, I really wonder if your son has considered a year off. He has studied 2 languages and may want to study abroad, do relief work or something else he finds fun. |
