[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a current Sidwell high school parent, I am appalled that the college counselors would change a kids recommendation from one college application to another. No wonder the college counseling office has such a poor reputation year after year. [/quote]

I was surprised by this too. Do all the DC private high schools do this or is this just at Sidwell? [/quote]

[b]I think those forms are meant to relate the applicant to the cohort of other applicants[/b], and as such, they have to change from one school to another. Unless the applicant is the tippy-top of students.

In other words, for this student, she was a strong candidate for Spellman but maybe a middle applicant, as compared to her cohort, for Harvard. If the schools college guidance office isn't honest with the universities, they won't have credibility.

I am hard pressed to understand your complaint here.[/quote]

That's appears to be what the Court of Appeals concluded.  [/quote]
