[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is a dumb question but what does the quality of the college counselors have to do with ED acceptances?  Wouldn't the best students at these top 3 schools get into the Ivies/or whatever school they choose, regardless of how good or bad the counselor is?  It's not like the counselor is telling them about HYPS and the students had never heard of the schools before.

Can the reason be because a poor counselor likely writes a poor recommendation. Maybe that's too tangential but I'm just trying to understand the connection between quality of counselors and acceptances at these schools where kids/parents already know where they want to apply. [/quote]

There are literally thousands of kids with the same record as the best students from the top 3 schools. Counsellors can help shape the application to stand out (or to avoid standing out in the wrong way) and also make contact with the schools directly to highlight a particular attribute that might have been overlooked. It's not a lock even for teh best kids at these schools. [/quote]
