[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had this situation. My suggestion is to really work the waitlists and consider hiring a college counselor to coach  working the waitlist. He may get a spring admit.[/quote]

How could a college counselor help work the waitlist?  If there is a counselor that has connections at a particular school, then maybe I could see how someone might be able to put a thumb on the scale.  Otherwise, I'm not sure how that would work.[/quote]

That happened at my high school. The college counselors knew the Deans of Admission and could call them up and pull for kids. [/quote]

Right, but PP was suggesting hiring an independent college counselor.  Unless a college counselor has a particular connection at the school(s) were DS is waitlisted -- which seems unlikely -- I have trouble seeing how that would help.  But maybe I am just not the type to immediately think of hiring a "consultant" to try to fix everything.[/quote]

PP here. Oh that’s true — it’s gonna be a crapshoot in terms of an independent college counselor and I’d be wary of anyone who claims to have such connections. At least with a school college counselor, you can see the school’s track record with various colleges. [/quote]
