Didn't we have this thread before? Or did we just have some moms on here who thought that? (Or both)
I would remind her of the amount of work her daughter had to do to achieve in HS, and everything she had to go through to be accepted at the college of her choice. Hopefully mom will nod and say "yes, yes." Then tell her that recruitment IS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AND REQUIRES THE SAME AMOUNT OF PREPARATION.
That's what I don't get. These people are on CC from their kid's freshman year on making sure they get the school they want, because they realize even if they got into 5 different Ivies with no trouble, it isn't like that anymore! I don't know why they think that what is basically a competition among hundreds of accomplished women (a fact you can find out fairly easily with limited Internet research) doesn't require a similar effort.
