[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most selective private colleges have admissions counselors assigned to particular regions. Part of their job is learning what high schools in those areas typically do in terms of grading and class offerings, and also what their overall numbers look like. I worked in the admissions office at Georgetown as a student back in the 90s, and the admissions officer assigned to the NY / NJ area absolutely knew all about my high school, despite the fact that I was the only one admitted in a 3 year cycle, and only 2 out of 4 years for the whole school district. [/quote] Very good post -- admissions offices work very hard to understand all this context. Personal incredulity that they cannnot or will not does not change the fact that they do.[/quote]
