During my first Facebook Live of 2022, I received a ton of great questions from parents and students on topics like getting deferred, standardized tests, course selection, and much more!
If you missed this month's session of Ask America's College Counselor, keep reading for a list of some of the questions I answered and to watch the full video.
SOME QUESTIONS YOU'LL SEE ME ANSWER:
- After the application is in at a selective liberal arts college, should the student continue to “demonstrate interest”?
- Is it okay to ask my teacher for a letter of recommendation early because she is taking a leave of absence?
- How do we ensure that the College Board does not send our kids' SAT scores directly to schools?
- Should you report a 3 on an AP exam?

- My son hasn't taken a foreign language in high school. Will this be an issue for selective colleges?

- What are some ways to fill up my lack of leadership in school to make myself stand out?
- Can a Soundbite focus on a commitment to a sport even if the student isn’t going to play in college?
