[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks the laugh OP. An HOUR??? Each counselor has like 400 kids. ROFL. [/quote]

On the websites, it looks like they have under 200 students per counselor. I thought that might give them time to see people more, no?[/quote]

They should have around 200 and that's split across two grade levels so should only have about.100 seniors.

The counselor will meet with your student for "academic planning" every year. The junior year meeting will include a discussion of college plans but it's not an in-depth thing. They also do presentations to students about the process, how to use Naviance, will ask you to fill out a detailed "brag sheet" to help them write recommendations. They do a parent presentation too.

If you need more help figuring out how to get started, you could reach out to the schools College & Career Counselor. If you need more help than that you should hire a private counselor.

We did not use a private counselor but I did spend a lot of time educating myself about the process and my kids are pretty clear on their preferences which helps.[/quote]

Thanks, that's very helpful![/quote]
