[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your school offer a meeting explaining the college app process at your school? I would recommend attending sophomore year to get your head around all the details. And then attend again during your child's junior year. They can be quite informative. [b]As for recommendation letters, my kids had to provide a resume to each teacher so that the rec was personal. The resume details my child's GPA, higher  level classes taken, extracurricular activities,SAT scores, summer jobs etc. [/b]Is this all you are asking about or are you wondering how all the pieces of information are sent to the college on a timely basis?[/quote]

OP here. This is what I'm hoping for. I have confidence in the higher level course teachers putting out decent recommendations. I am concerned about the counselor's letter being condescending or dismissive due to lack of understanding of the students or target colleges.  I can tell by the list of schools to which past students have applied that the counselors lack knowledge. I am not worried about identifying fit colleges or looking for a college guidance counseling service.

Thanks to all who shared experiences or insight.[/quote]
