[quote=Anonymous]            We were very pleased with the college counseling at St. Andrew's.  They put a number of required meetings with the kids and parents on the calendar throughout junior and senior year (some preliminary work with the kids earlier), and we found the counselor very accessible to set up additional calls/meetings as requested.  Before senior year, I felt the counselor was getting to know our child and ourselves very well, and that was quite valuable in answering questions about which schools should /should not be on the final lists -- and that was much deeper than just SATs and GPA -- it was really fit in intangible ways.  Beyond that, he weighed in on course selection, summer activities,  and even suggested paths for what was reasonable or not in terms of school visits.  My sense is that most people would say similar things about college counseling there, but I would admit that you probably get the most out of it if you do as much work on your own as possible before going in to talk with the counselors.   That's how you can take advantage of their real knowledge of schools and process. [/quote]
