Swim Club Experience - is it Useless for BSMD

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.
