^^^ this seems like a good friend of mines that is asking me advice for her brilliant daughter, who is also just a lovely, nice, mature kid. Hate when they have it all… Lol
Her mother keeps telling me the places she will get in easily next year due to her stats like John Hopkins, Stanford, Yale and I could go on. Now this might be THAT kid that does but I frequently give her mother the stats and chances and me and her sisters and friends in the know keep telling her about matches /safeties. Keep telling her that colleges just don’t throw out full rides because they like you and finally gave her stats about all the kids with the same stats. That finally opened her eyes.
Then she tells me all the Lacs she’s looking at since of course those are easier to get in since the school is smaller…
LOL. Just start naming Lacs on the East and West coast that are tough to get into and you will be correct… Lol
So I sent her some safeties with full merit possibility and she is finally starting to change her tune. I just asked her “when she gets into JH… How are you paying for it”?
Why do people think just because their kid gets in somewhere that means free tuition?
