[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nope. The kind of people you're describing get outside counselors.[/quote]

This isn't binary yep/nope.  A family can hire private help and still act peeved [u]and[/u] blame the original CCO help for "inadequacy" when the actual issue is entitlement.  And make no mistake, the worst among these parents badmouth the independent Bethesda and NYC counselors, too.

The problem for them is never in their own home, you see. [/quote]

Not the same PP. But it's also not the binary yep/nope that the CCO is running smoothly.  We aren't in the big complaining group nor do we feel our DC is entitled to get into an Ivy (or top X), but the messaging from CCO doesn't align with the support they actually provide. So much gets complicated by their fear of crazy parents and the fear of sharing information that more typical families (and kids) who need real advice don't always get it. For example, I would absolutely want to be told that there are a huge number early application to Brown (or that it included athletes, legacies, etc), if my kid also had a SLAC at the top of their list that was less saturated with SFS applicants and could be a more likely ED hit. Yes, many families will ignore this, but others won't.  [/quote]
