[quote=Anonymous]I am the friend and colleague of an independent school director of college counseling. Some of you here are blithely suggesting that he and his counterparts at other schools are engaging in the most unethical behavior imaginable for someone in his profession.

College counselors are not steering qualified applicants away from any school. They very often are telling applicants the honest news that they are not likely to be admitted to certain schools. They might even tell them not to waste one of the most powerful weapons in an applicant's arsenal - an ED application - on a school where it probably still won't get them in. They might also be working with families of "non-wealthy" kids to find the school that offers the most merit aid, making a high-quality college education affordable.

But they are not steering qualified applicants away from schools because they are not rich, and they are not trying to reserve their schools' Ivy slots (which don't exist) for rich kids.[/quote]
