[quote=Anonymous]Latin's college counselors do an amazing job matching students to a good post-secondary fit---taking into account their records, their interests, and financial realities.  There are kids who go to Ivies.  There are kids who go to SLACs.  There are kids who go to HCBUs and kids who go to large state universities.  Starting in 9th grade, the counselors send out weekly emails tailored to each grade.  At the beginning of junior year, the juniors each fill out an 80 question detailed questionnaire regarding their background and interests, so the counselors can start advising them regarding potential "fits" in one-on-one meetings during the spring.  In the summer, before senior year, the counseling office, together with the English department, sponsor several 3 day "Application Boot Camp" seminars to help kids work on their essays.  The counseling office is relentless in assembling and advertising scholarship opportunities and hosting additional workshops during the winter to help students apply for those.
