[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sara Harberson's methodology is right on, and not expensive.  Highly recommend vs private counselors.  
We have fantastic results[/quote]
This is what we did but with mixed results so far. Some of her advice contradicts what HS counselors say.  For example, Sara says to never report at 4 to a reach school (i.e. Ivy).  School counselor said that was ridiculous.   [/quote]

Same here. Our CC insisted reporting all 4s when our student said she would not based on SH.

That’s not how I understood SH’s advice. She’s cautionary on submitting 4s to highly rejective schools based on seeing people rejected for doing so at Penn. I think if you had a 4 on BC Calc, she’d likely advise not to submit if you’re a hard stem applicant to an Ivy but to go ahead if you’re applying as an English major and you’re otherwise submitting 5s for eg Lang and History.[/quote]

You are right. But our CC said the student needs to control the narrative. The AOs know that almost all kids take the AP exam after taking an AP class at our school, if you report some AP scores and not others, perhaps you got worse than a 3? A 4 is not bad.[/quote]
