<p>This just makes it so personal for the parents to admit that their preparations have not necessarily produced a young adult who is going to get admitted to a top college. I really think you should tell them to hire a professional college counselor if they want a chance for their son to gain admissions to this type of college. You can use the excuse that you really weren’t working with your kids on “elite” colleges, and don’t feel like you can do the job justice.</p>
