[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone should solely depend on their college counselling OP regardless of the school. Most of the success/failure is done on the basis of grades, test scores, ECs. But when a kid is on a wait list, a good college counselor can make a difference. You want them lobbying for your kid and not another kid from your private on the list. So, you have to be nice and do your own internal lobbying just in case. Ours had no idea about athletic recruiting so we went it alone w/o getting the college counselor antagonistic towards us. It worked. And now, the woman touts our kid as one of her successes even though she advised her to go to US Naval Academy because she didn't think she'd get into anything better. And, I hate guns and so does my kid. So, I told kid to run the other way when they saw college counselor. Everyone has their own horror stories OP. The happy ones are people like us who figured out how to work the system around the counselor.[/quote]
