[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school guidance counselor? Hahahaha[/quote] +1 do not leave this all up to your kid if you go to a public non-W MCPS high School. Kids are not going to nag the guidance counselors and they will not meet the deadlines without constant follow-up. Luckily I heard this from parents of older kids. Then incompetence stories are endless. [/quote] This. Also, don’t expect the school guidance counselor to be your own private advisor. With their “caseload,” realistically over the course of this entire process, you can plan for one or two meetings to discuss schools/fit, and the GC will be the one to send transcripts and LORs to the schools your DC tells them to. Your DC must give plenty of advance notice about deadlines and follow up to ensure materials are sent on time. The guidance counselor is a resource, but definitely can’t be expected to co-lead or manage the schedule. This has to come from your DC and you. [/quote]
