[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least now SFS has an opportunity to rethink and revamp the college counseling office.  The turnover of two positions is a good start but just the initial step.  SFS has been underinvesting in the office for a long time.  It’s also the case that college admission has become more complex and challenging in recent years.  Sidwell needs to add one or two more front line counselors to lower the student to counselor ratio.[/quote]

Why can’t parents help?   You really have to pay someone to do this?[/quote]

DP, the main thing, there is information that the parents have no right to about other students - grade point, hooks etc, that weigh into decisions by classmates. If there are two schools my DC likes as an unhooked ED candidate and there are 10 hooked classmates applying to one and 3 hooked applying to the other, then obviously DC should apply to the one that has 3 applicants,  or better yet, see if there is a 3rd option that has zero or one other potential applicant. A parent cannot and should not have that information.[/quote]
