[quote=Anonymous]From my experience as a faculty member reading admissions files with admissions officers at an Ivy, the counselor's LOR was an important source when the student had had some bumps along the road or the record was less than stellar. The counselor was the one who could mention family issues, health or mental health issues, etc., and help contextualize the student's courses in relation to the school's norms. Those were files from public schools. Not infrequently I saw the counselor's LOR bump a student into a maybe pile when they might have been weeded out earlier based on stats.[/quote]
