[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^And the counselor letter too-that is the real meat of the application and it’s a total mystery as to what goes in it! I suspect students are indeed ranked in some fashion and that the counselors do give their opinion on who would thrive where.

I think it’s a good idea for your kid to take a look at their admission file, which many colleges allow in the fall and report back. [/quote]

Coming from a private with very hands on CCO. Does this mean you really should heed the advice of your CCO? Focus on fit rather than prestige. Seems like a good way to get a standout letter. [/quote]

I would make sure your kid knows the counselor and the counselor knows the kid. Have the kids spend weekly regular time in the office regularly starting late in junior year and absolutely all fall of senior year.

Let them think you are not working with anyone else, even if you are. Have kid bring essays to them ask them random one off questions. Have them volunteer to help with anything they need. Basically treat college counselors as they would another class. [/quote]
