她送了自己做的卡片。。。每個college有一個AO對應一個地區的，高中counselor知道，所以就直接和這個AO聯係，update一下最新進展。。。下麵是女兒當年的信：
Dear Ms. D.,
Hello! I am AAA BBB, a senior from CCC High School in DDD, Illinois. I applied to Wellesley College this past winter and was put on your wait list. Thus, I am writing to express my desires to attend your school for the four years.
Having visited Wellesley over the summer, I was enchanted by the campus. I couldn't believe that such a serene place could exist just miles from Boston! What also appealed to me was the strong sense of sisterhood – as an all women’s school, there are more opportunities for women to learn, bond, and grow, ultimately into passionate and dedicated women who can hold their own in our ever-shifting world.
If I were to attend Wellesley, I would bring a focused and creative aspect to your community. I am hardworking and dedicated, but also open to new ideas and opportunities. In addition, my inquisitive nature allows me to find unique solutions to a wide spectrum of problems.
I have also made several positive advancements in my high school career since December. Not only have I kept my grades up, but I was recently promoted to the temporary status of editorship and substituted as a group leader on my school’s online newspaper staff. Briefly, I was able to experience revising other student’s works, even though this is my first year in the class. In fact, I was chosen to write headlines in the upcoming Illinois High School Association journalism competition! Additionally, our journalism team was one of nine finalists in the National Scholastic Press Association Pacemaker competition.
I would really like to spend my next four years at Wellesley College. The only difficulty would be the cost of attending your school. However, I believe that studying at your college will make me a better and more successful person, a great investment for the both of us. Please consider me as you reevaluate each of your candidates for admission.
Thank you for your time!
我家老二沒這麽好運氣。Carleton當年enrollment太好，多收了一百多，結果沒從waiting list上找人。高中counselor很早就知道了，告訴我家兒子別想了。。。
