Halftime Hope Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 dd has been invited to apply for the honors program at one of her college choices. They require a resume or vita (sp?) and a counselor letter. I have no idea what one does for such an item. Ideas? It has to be postmarked by Wednesday! :eek: Thanks!

Kareni Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Repeating what I wrote on the College Board: I would say that the counselor letter is a place to show your child's strengths (and a token weakness to show balance). It is also the place to discuss any issues that may not have been addressed elsewhere. For example, if your child was ill or if there was a family crisis that resulted in a poor semester, this would be a place to discuss it. I'd be happy to send you (or anyone else who wishes it) a copy of my counselor letter. Simply send me a personal message with your email address.
