  • Admissions Expertise

    If your parents are too involved, can they hurt your chances?

      

    I have heard of actual cases where the parents were SO annoying: constantly calling the colleges, butting in on interviews etc that the admissions office decided that accepting that student would only mean future problems for the college! Also, if a parent does write a students admissions essay and it clearly does have the parent's "voice" and not that of a 17 year old ( especially if the essay is much stronger then the student's average grade in English) that could really backfire!
