[quote=Anonymous]Yes to 10:05. In addition, I wish that we had understood the college counseling process a bit better (DC is in a private school). The first meeting seems to be all about setting expectations, but in DC's case they were set too low and not really all that helpful. Once DCs scores and junior grades came in the counselor was much more helpful and she really had good suggestions for DC. Look at naviance and understand where kids go from your high school and how your kid fits into the rubric. The strangest thing to me is that DC is interested in liberal arts schools, and it would seem that on paper Haverford, Colgate, Washington and Lee, Colby, Vassar etc. would all be reasonable choices as they are similarly ranked. However, some of those schools were matches, some were reaches, and some were "your kid is never going to get in there." Sorting that out took some time.[/quote]
