Thank you so much for such thorough answers. I should add that I feel very out of the loop with this whole process, so forgive my ignorance. I probably did not use the right words in discussing her major field(s) of study. She thinks she wants to do psychology. I think she has ECs showing an interest in international affairs. I am trying to find a way to marry these two interests into…something. Maybe she just needs to go for General Studies and then figure out options once she gets to know them. But I want her to be at the right school to be able to do both.
Excellent point on the foreign languages. I’ve known this was a major shortcoming and have not worked out a plan for that yet. Right now I’m thinking I need to find some community college class for her to take over the summer. Do you think that would work?
Thanks for the heads up about a math or science teacher LOR, I will get her thinking on that.
She has not visited schools yet. Honestly, she has been so overwhelmed with rehearsal time, she has barely thought about what comes after Junior year, much less beyond. I am starting this for her so we can formulate a game plan over the summer. To answer your questions about campus life: I don’t think she will care about Greek life. I personally feel like she could benefit from a place that has a decent team so that she could benefit from the cohesive atmosphere that school sports bring.
