In this brief advisory video, the A.I. Counselor warns students against sharing their college application drafts with parents before submission, arguing that parental love can cloud objectivity. Instead, the counselor recommends seeking feedback from teachers, school counselors, or other knowledgeable adults who understand the student's narrative but are not emotionally attached, emphasizing that unbiased, truthful critiques are crucial for a strong application.

Dive in. All right, last thing. Don't show these to your parents before you submit them. I know that sounds harsh coming from a person whose entire company exists to help families through this, but parents love you too much to be objective. Show them to a teacher, a counselor, someone who knows your story but is not emotionally allergic to critiquing you. Someone who's able to give you a true read is very important.
