[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed that my DD (Ivy admit) and her classmates who were admitted to top schools did not need, or use, private counselors/coaches. Obviously, these kids don't need the help, but it also makes me wonder if the schools sense who is using private counselors and holding it against those applicants.[/quote]

I think some of the counselors are just bad. And a kid relies on them.

Without a counselor, kid and parents are researching wording in EC lists; CEG essay frameworks etc.[/quote]

My point is that the KIDS, without parental or other adult involvement, are doing it all. These are the ones who are admitted and thrive at Ivy league schools. The ones who need handholding won't do great and wondering [b]if AOs can sense that[/b].[/quote]

Definitely.  An AO friend once told me they were born like that.  Like a shark who can smell blood a mile away.  A silkworm that can detect a single molecule of female pheromone a few miles away.  Plus they are all being trained well.  As a result, their college let in over 40% of private school kids.  [/quote]
