[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were not shocked but did get some terrible advice from the school counselor (i.e., no need to apply to more than 6 schools, EA does not matter, you should "definitely get into" some schools we knew would be hard targets/reaches, etc...). Naviance also seems to be out of date for a number of schools. So I can see where parents might be shocked. [/quote] Wow, wow. What kind of HS? How old is the counselor? How long has the counselor worked in this area (e.g., were they a classroom teacher who pivoted to college counseling?)? I don't think 20 is necessary for all applicants, but all those points are really, really bad advice. I hope things have worked out for your DC. [/quote]
