[quote=Anonymous]It was the same for me many years ago. Counselors just don't see enough top kids and they are primarily concerned with ensuring your kid gets in somewhere. My recommendation to parents and kids in this situation is twofold. First, do your own research. Naviance type data was not available many years ago, and looking at the scattergrams for non-URM non-legacy non-recruited athlete is very revealing. Second, when the counselor suggests a bunch of schools in the good state school/SLAC/engineering school, use that as an excuse to apply to more schools. They can't really complain as long as you frame it as taking their advice. [/quote]
