I’m guessing that you don’t have a current senior. My kid was neither rejected nor deferred ED. But many seniors believe that the CCO has done a poor job and disserved the class. Even kids who got in ED have that view.[/quote]

I do have a current senior. I just have realistic expectations from the CCO.

I want them to be sure to get transcripts and recommendations in on time and have them be grammatically correct.
I want them to help my kid identify a range of schools based on potential areas of study as well as size/geography etc.

They did those two things.

The rest is up to luck given the numbers of applications we are seeing the colleges and universities this year.

Other than those two items, what did you expect from the CCO that you didn't get?[/quote]

Have you had an option to read the recommendations?  If not, how do you know if they are grammatically correct.  LOL[/quote]

I don't, but [b]given who our older kid had,[/b] and the proper grammar in emails currently, I am more confident now than I was a few years ago.[/quote]

This is an overlooked aspect of the turmoil and turnover in the CC office during the past several years. No question, the way in which some parents acted towards some the counselors a few years ago was completely inappropriate and unacceptable. But that doesn’t negate that some of the counselors apparently were largely incompetent. And what did school administration do about that before things came to a head and everything blew up? Absolutely nothing. I was disappointed but not surprised to learn that Mamadou said this morning that they do not formally ask for feedback from parents about the college counseling office and that they are not planning to do so this year.[/quote]
