<p>I think it’s important for kids to know they can’t expect a quality read from any of the many here who claim they’re qualified because they got in. Some may get lucky, but most will not get quality input. </p>
<p>This is so ridiculous–with kids asking for no 13’s–does anyone really think a year or two of age will teach the average person what a college is looking for?</p>
<p>I worked in admissions 30 years ago and I saw what today’s professional understood vs. what I did.</p>
<p>Kids will do much better asking an adult they know and trust over the random people here.</p>
