[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How well the counselor gets to know their students, so that recommendations can truly be individualized. Whether they provide meaningful and helpful edits to essays. Whether they look past rankings/prestige in helping students create a list.[/quote] Yes, all this. Ours had a really good handle on how kids from the school had done in the past couple of years, and guided the seniors accordingly. For example, Villanova had become a tough admit from our school ... he guided some kids to Boston College (arguably a more prestigious school) and the less stellar kids to Providence and Fairfield. It's nothing DCUM moms couldn't do. But the counselor's at my other child's public school would have had no idea. They know the in-state publics and that's it. [/quote]
