🏫 College Advising

When a student receives conflicting feedback on their essay from multiple sources (e.g., parent, teacher, advisor), what is the advisor's best course of action?

A Instruct the student to prioritize the feedback from the most academically qualified person.
B Help the student identify the core message they want to convey and evaluate feedback against that goal.
C Advise the student to ignore all external feedback and trust their initial draft.
D Suggest the student combine all feedback into one revised draft to please everyone.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The advisor should empower the student to critically evaluate feedback, ensuring their essay remains authentic to their voice and effectively communicates their intended message, rather than merely implementing all suggestions.
