[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the original question: Yes! And double yes for all highly selective colleges. Counselors steer kids away from each other without telling. Kids are afraid to speak about where they are applying, even to their closest friends. The schools pretend it is all hunky-dory and it is not.[/quote] Sounds like our public school [/quote] Aren't public schools too large to be able to do this?[/quote] Not really. Even at a school like Whitman there is a smaller group that would only be competive for selective college admissions and within that group is where these same dynamics play out. Because half the college bound kids at Whitman will go to Maryland, just like everywhere else.[/quote]
