Off the bat she said - son has NO CHANCE despite having 4.0 GPA, some science competition awards and research.
This is how exactly it went -her reaction opposite each thing we have.
Red Cross Ambassador - not good, must do hospice
Special Olympics volunteer - not good, must do tutoring
Research program from Moonprep - not good, must do Yale summer program
Summer hospital volunteering - not good, must be the whole year
Doctor shadowing for 2 days- not useful
Swimming 8 yrs - what else?
Youth Orchestra 2 yrs - what else?
I felt attacked when I talked to her. She is a physician - does this explain the superiority complex?
The good news is - I had the presence of mind to tell her that she does NOT have the experience and counseling skill that we are looking for.
