[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by “brokering”? Is that equivalent to promoting certain students over others to AO’s?[/quote]

This has me really stressed. We have been watching and hoping this isn’t true but [b]our kid felt steered away from certain schools and now found out many kids got in one of these schools last year so not sure why steered away. [/b]We are on pins and needles that the ed works out and we can feel better about process. They are having a big mental health meeting today and hopefully kids will talk about all these rumors which maybe are not true. It would be devastating to find out school was deciding to push certain kids and not others.[/quote]

We are members of the same school community. Other than the list from College Kickstart, we’ve had no other communication with the CCO. They made no comment on our child’s ED1 decision, and we would have appreciated some feedback about it (mainly how many others were applying to same school and our child’s level of competitiveness). Based on the SCOIR data, kids with similar profiles have gotten into this school in the past but it sure would have been nice to have the input and encouragement/discouragement from CCO. If they are discouraging your kid, that likely means many others with stronger stats and profiles are applying too.

This is where the CCO can and should add value in my opinion and they aren’t. Particularly with regard to ED choices it would be nice to have some real-time guidance. Other schools provide such assistance and I don’t know why this school cannot do the same.[b] It seems like many kids in this class are shooting for the moon in ED without having the required grades, rigor or test scores at a baseline and I’m surprised nothing has been said by CCO’s.

If anyone from this school is on here, how did it end up working out?
non-DMV private here and we have similar weird CCO dynamics.[/quote]
