For a comparable school? How long ago? Do they have AO contacts? It is a question.[/quote]

They don't. If your counselor was only a reader (and not AO) more than 10 years ago, they are kind of irrelevant to know how that school's process works. However, if they have a LARGE flow of applications, they should know what works and what doesn't in the modern application era.

They will know that Harvard likes leadership (both in and esp outside of school ("unusual achievement") plus, they are looking for truly outstanding qualities of character (courage and compassion, maturity, genuineness, humility and resiliency); while Yale is heavily focused on community (remember the 4 year res college), an interdisciplinary liberal arts approach to learning and those LOR (along with evidence for social impact and inclusion) while Princeton searches for innovative applicants who think first and foremost about their community.

There are obv hundreds of other schools, but your CC should be able to look at your kid's profile and suggest colleges where there is more natural alignment than you might think.[/quote]
