[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^Provide actual info on where our DC stands relative to peers with regard to class rigor and GPA. Admit what school specific data is shared with colleges-they claim just a school profile is sent which only provides a college which classes are offered and average ACT/SAT scores-no info on GPA or class rank is given on the profile, and they claim nothing about GPA or grade distributions is sent to the colleges, so unless you are applying to an in state school that might get multiple apps from the same school, how are these colleges supposed to figure out where a student stands in their particular school?

In short, too little data is provided to parents and students to personalize the process in any way or to help guide the kids in order to maximize good outcomes for the entire class (for example, perhaps steering a kid away from a certain Ivy ED if they know there are 8 legacies in the class doing the same). They also don’t seem to be willing to pick up a phone and call regional reps to advocate for the kids who really want a certain school and have made that fact known. Plenty more can and should be done.[/quote]
this big 3 DC is not OP, btw[/quote]

What is so bad about what this PP said? I think a lot of current parents aren’t sure exactly what their private school’s CC office does for them anymore. Which, with the price tag they are charging, is pretty arrogant and not a good precedent to set in the current cutthroat college admissions landscape.[/quote]
