[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you've already pushed some, so you really need to stand down for your child's sake. When you do speak to the head make sure you don't sound like you are going over the counselor's head. There's often grumbling about college guidance counselors because its such a stressful process but I agree with PP that their role in all this is exaggerated. They can recommend colleges, but your DC gets to choose and their letters to the schools are almost certainly reviewed by the head of the office. Finally, its really important that you stand as far back from the process as possible. The kids really have to take the lead, both for their own good and because thats one thing colleges look for. It sounds like you are teetering on the edge of being overinvolved.[/quote]
