[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this why on the Instagram posts the private school kids have majors like English or anthropology or migration studies and all the public school students have math or science majors, computer science or engineering?[/quote]

Yikes. But so true. [/quote]

Yes. College counseling at privates is so much better, obviously, and starts early. And many of those kids also have private counselors, some starting in middle school.[/quote]

No, our family is at a private HS that is well known nationally and our college counseling doesn't start until 11th grade. Our private school CCs are adamant that starting in 10th grade or earlier puts the emphasis on college entry and not HS itself and it burns kids out too early on the college application process. They say our kids should be engaged and focused on their HS courses and experience until mid-way through 11th grade. That's when they start 1:1 meetings.[/quote]

Same at our non-DMV private. They JUST started doing meetings in the 2nd semester, 10th to focus on summer programming and curriculum. Not so much college counseling, but people want to plan college trips in 10th and 11th, do impactful things over the summer. 
But they do not focus on college lists etc until Jan of junior year.[/quote]
