[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know how many Sidwell parents on this forum have or know senior students. Class of 2022 is one of the strongest but ED/EA results seem very poor this year. Most of us send our kids to SFS for quality education. Sooner or later your kids will be a senior. Parents should express our real concern and interests while paying increasing tuitions.[/quote]

Isn't SFS the only private school with 10 national merit semifinalists or something like that? [/quote]
But most NMSFs didn't get in EA/ED.  LOL.  [b]Sidwell CCO is really subpar.[/b][/quote]

+1 (class of ‘22 parent here)[/quote]

+2.  Were apparently advising some seniors in mid-Jan to apply to more "safety" schools - mind you after the Jan. 1 deadline for many schools, and right up against the later deadlines of Jan. 15 for some schools. [/quote]

+3 Try to schedule an appointment to check the Naviance Data and finalized the RD list prior to the winter break after knowing the ED result, but we were told her schedule was fully booked. COO was closed except for checking the emails.[/quote]
Why not?

What’s their excuse for not providing access to [b]Naviance[/b]? [/quote]

Question - do independent college counselors outside of schools have access to Naviance ?

[/quote]
No. Naviance is a school specific data base.[/quote]

Thanks.  Do the Sidwell counselors use Naviance themselves ? [/quote]

They do. Students and their parents can look at Naviance scattergrams in a meeting with the counselor upon request. IME, the counselors are reluctant to have families look at scattergrams when they think it is too early in the process of a student creating their list, and the counselor will push back against that request. And when they do eventually let you look at them, they will only let you look at a very small number of colleges' scattergrams when those colleges are on your list. So among other things, the counselors won't let students look at and use scattergrams as a tool to create their list in the first place.[/quote]why not? Seems helpful as you choose some on the list. What help is it after the fact?? Maybe this is why some are unhappy with Sidwell’ cco[/quote]
