[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School counselors of public high schools will have close to 1,000 seniors, you’re kidding right ? [/quote]

Yeah but a lot of them are already working on essays. The counselor won't be hearing from a lot of them.[/quote]

HS counselors at public HS are overworked and not helpful in the college process. For the colleges that needed the "counselor letter" we practically wrote the letter with the "resume" we had to put together.  No other way to do it as the counselor was literally just a "random person writing about a kid they had never actually met". I'm sure they spent only 20-30 mins writing the actual recommendation/letter.  And I'm sure most colleges know this is the case for public HS (versus private schools where it is very different).

My kid had a new counselor starting junior year (during covid, online school) and had never even met their counselor.  My kid never actually met their counselor in person before graduating HS, which is quite typical for the college bound students/better students. Our counselor had 800 students.  [/quote

I think you meant to say, "[b]In my experience,[/b]..."

My four kids all had the same high school counselor in their MoCo public school, and they had a terrific experience.  [b]YMMV.[/b][/quote]

I beg of you -- stop using that phrase.  It's so incredibly annoying.  It's even worse than "you do you."[/quote]
