[quote=Anonymous]Pp, you are describing private school counseling practices and applying them to public schools. What school does your child attend? At FCPS schools, the college counselor is essentially just a resource position. He plays zero role in actual school selection or application execution. The guidance counselors are basically just there to deal with schedule changes and administrative stuff, but they also are responsible for writing a recommendation for the student, often based on a cheat sheet without ever having met that student. No one at the school is deciding which school a child should or shouldn't apply to, nor are they supporting or sabotaging applications as they see fit. I know that at private schools, it is common for the college counselor to pick and choose who to present to each top school, but that doesn't happen in public. There just isn't the time or energy to deal with it. Students select the schools and are entirely in charge of the process. [/quote]
