[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They always get into some good schools. The issue is when they feel out-matched by peers who have attended far more rigorous public and private schools. It is a rude awakening for many.[/quote]

Yawn.[/quote]

DMV public school grad, who was Magna at an Ivy. And then Ivy for grad school. But no sweat.

The delusions of what people think the difference is between publics and privates in this area - self-justifying/reassuring themselves after spending $40K+ a year - never ceases to amaze me.[/quote]

And P.S. - did it with NO 'college counselor'.[/quote]

Whatever that means.  Some parents step up and become the college counselors.[/quote]

I didn’t have one either. My parents must have bought me a couple of books listing and describing the schools. That’s about it. Then I applied, without any help at all. Certainly for those who need it like first generation kids it’s good to have a counselor but it shouldn’t be make or break.[/quote]
