[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How good is college counseling for the bottom half? In other words, do they advocate strongly for the best schools, or do they either ignore you or relegate you to the bottom feeder schools?[/quote] I have found it quite good. They do really spend a lot of time with each student, and the guys in the bottom half may be the ones who benefit most from getting feedback on their essays, for example. I like their approach. I also think they "get boys" -- that they will procrastinate and not "do what they are supposed to" in terms of checklists or deadlines but may still be feeling great anxiety over the college applications process. I like that they don't assume the disorganized or procrastinating kid is not worthy of time/attention/TLC. [/quote]
