[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on for what purpose.  DC's college list should be determined between DC and CCO, [b]I don't think private counselor should have a final say on the college list[/b].

For essays, I don't see how a private outside counselor could make things worse.

Before junior year, you will occasionally need a private counselor when CCO has not been assigned to DC.[/quote]

Final say on college list is neither CCO nor private counselor. We take the input from both and DC and parents have "final say." Got it?

Telling me you don't go to a private school without telling me.
School counselor will have to approve your list. If your snowflake put all T20 on the list without safeties and targets, it's an automatic no.

LOL, of course there will be targets and safeties. What I am saying is that neither counselor can tell us what and what not to put on the list. We decide this in the end. They can advise, but that is the extent of it. After all, the title is "college advisor." [/quote]

There are cases where outside counselor thinks you should ED a level up while the school counselor thinks your kid don't have the chops.  [/quote]

Again, it is up to the student/parent. Everyone will have opinions, and we welcome [b]multiple viewpoints[/b]!!

That, I agree.  OP makes it sound like outside counselor is bad.  But it really depends on individual counselor you chose.[/quote]

NP. I chose a “good one” and they’re still bad. Proceed carefully. [/quote]

Sorry. A “good one” is one that gets the result for you, not the most expensive one.  [/quote]
