So Much Love, So Few Spots

Verbal… you are true to your name. Excellent and compelling point of view.

I think EmptyNestToBe hits on the theme of packaged vs non-packaged. It is true that I don’t think there was anything slick about son’s application. His answers werent fancy or even that depth revealing. Don’t know if he got into Tufts or not. But I think if kids are embellishing their resumes just because they can (vs having applications go through GC offices vs online submission), I think they run a big risk of not only being rejected from school A but school b, c, d. If a high school found out, I don’t think most would hesitate to confirm or deny the truth of certain things. After all, their relationships with colleges extend far past one kid or one admission season.
