[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are older, but when they were seniors they were specifically told not to discuss with their classmates where they were applying. The idea of a counselor doing it is boggling. [/quote] My kids are younger and not yet applying, but why would it be bad to discuss with classmates? Other than embarrassment if they don't get in, seems fine to me. The counselor naming names rather than rough numbers of kids is obviously a bad idea.[/quote] It didn’t used to be. It used to be that your classmates were your friends, and supported you. Now college admissions is a cut-throat sport, and your classmates are the competition. The counselors at Walls only do college apps once every 4 years, correct? So this counselor hasn’t had these in-person meetings since fall of 2016. This norm has probably moved in that time.[/quote]
