I’m a mentor with a kid at our high school who is graduating a year early and is interested in jumping into college fall 2024. They are interested in creative writing and philosophy. They want to stay West-ish (OR, WA, CA, CO). I just met them yesterday and am scrambling to figure out the best way to help. Anything I should consider because of them skipping senior year? They don’t know about how much parents are willing to pay. Would it be possible for them to do a year of “internship” in the film/tv/theater world as a writer to help them be a more attractive candidate the next year. GPA is 3.5, only 1-2 AP classes.
