[quote=Anonymous]Half of the in-school session in publics is taking the PSAT for juniors, or the practice PSAT for freshmen and sophomores. Then lunch, then an hour or two of pep talks or whatever. Another difference may be the counselor's familiarity with your kid. Also, their Rolodex and familiarity with schools besides UMD. I say this as a parent who went through the process last year. We got some fairly bad advice from the counselor about what the most selective schools want. For example, DC was told that 2 years of foreign language was fine and there was no reason to take a third year.[/quote]
