[quote=Anonymous]My DD graduated from a big three and the only place they failed was in college guidance. Would never advise anyone to leave or stay on that issue. You need to get it in your head now, that irrespective of what school your offspring graduates from, it is in your best interest to be as involved in the college process as possible well in advance of senior year. Start reading College Confidential's parent forum and look for the pinned articles that condense the process. It makes a huge difference btw to know what your kid is interesting in studying. My DD had a specific major and lucky for us the professional trade group tracks the various colleges and outcomes in relationship to graduation rates, program size, gender, graduate programs, ranking, and subsequent incomes. This was by far a better resource on where to apply than any of the schools her HS counselor had connections with. Be your own advocate and stop hoping a counselor will do your job for you.[/quote]
