[quote=Anonymous]First of all, I believe someone will review all the letters the college guidance counselor writes. They have a code of ethics and won't ding a student -- that would be obvious to the schools. If you are concerned that the letter won't be strong enough, the letters from the teachers can make up for that. You might also look into SLACs that have generous scholarships. One final question -- is it possible that the guidance counselor was advising you in a clumsy way that your DC would be unhappy at these schools. if so, he could of course be speaking out of prejudice but you may want to also give it some thought. My DC with very high scores and grades but an alternative, very non-preppy, non-Greek bent, realized she would be very unhappy at any of these schools and looked elsewhere. [/quote]
