D26 said that this morning was PSAT time for grades 9-11, so while everybody else was taking the PSAT, the seniors did an activity with the 2 college counselors. It was like a case study, where they got into small groups and had to review 3 students’ applications to Haverford College. They had to choose to admit 1, waitlist 1, and deny 1. D26 really enjoyed it, felt she learned a lot from it. After each group explained which student they admitted, waitlisted, and denied, the counselors then gave them the actual results and they all discussed it. Pretty cool stuff.
D26 said she’s almost ready to hit the ‘submit’ button on her applications. I think that will happen by the end of the week.
She’s meeting 1-on-1 w/1 of the counselors after school on Friday to talk about counselor LOR stuff.
