24/7 Application Bootcamp/A New and Improved Country of Residence

Rising seniordom means rising anxiety.  Just heard three angst-laden stories from good sources:

1)  A rising senior flew 3,000 miles to spend a week living at a Vermont college counselor's home.  She returned with completed drafts of her Common App, Personal Statement and Supplemental Essays.

2) A rising senior's SAT tutor has moved into her guest house.

3) A concerned dad with business interests in Bangladesh is considering establishing residency there to increase his daughter's college chances.  (The caveat: He wants her to live there for a month before she attends her alumni interviews, so she will sound knowledgeable about Bangladeshi culture.)

Remember that the interview reflects what kind of person you are. While being nervous is natural, you must be able to conduct yourself professionally as well.
