[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think that the majority of admissions counselors would hate this kind of thing. They aren't paid well, but have to take time out to listen to some counselor from a fancy private school go on and on about how special Thurston Gregory IV is?

Nope. It is a collegial community. This is part of the job for both of them.[/quote]

I feel like the people who believe this most strongly turn in to the people talking up Elon once their kids acceptances come in [/quote]

No, it's what my friends who hold these jobs on both ends told me.[/quote]

Also, you have a skewed vision of what this actually is. The high school counselors have a reputation to maintain as well; they are not going to talk up a Thurston if it isn't warranted, and they know, and tell Thurston, that he may not get in either way. And sometimes, they are calling on behalf of Joe, who go waitlisted everywhere and they are working to find a spot somewhere -- it is not always about Harvard.[/quote]
