[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thé counselors won’t be missed. My Junior has never even had a conversation with her’s. Couldn’t even tell you her/his name. Glad we can afford private college counseling. Feel bad for the people who can’t. [/quote]

Who are the new counselors they hired? Also, parents, you do realize that counselors have no college admissions training, correct? Not a single course. Anything counselors know is self-taught or from personal experience. There is zero PD on this stuff too. You ALL should be hiring private college counselors or at least be reading extensively on the topic unless you or your child is well-informed.[/quote]

Applying to college is not rocket science.  I would give the College and Career counselor at Churchill high marks for the parent meetings to explain the process.  There's Naviance (a computer program ) to find colleges that are good fit for your child.  The rest is work a high school senior should be able to manage on his/her own such as planning out the deadlines,  writing essays,  and submitting authorization to release test scores and school transcript.

The College and Career counselor is available to meet individually with students and parents if you have questions.  For a large public school,  she does a wonderful job and is highly experienced.

The Guidance Counselors have other responsibilities. Can you imagine the time it takes for them to write about 100 letters of recommendation on top of everything else they are responsible for?[/quote]
