[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who graduated from Sidwell and we were extremely pleased with the support and guidance of the CCO. Each of our kids worked with a different counselor, and each was extremely helpful in helping our DC develop a balanced list of schools that were good fits for them as individuals. Both kids were encouraged to have a good number of schools that would be considered both solid matches and also “safeties,” in addition to 1-2 reaches. They also were counseled that the process isn’t about getting into the “best” school, but instead to focus on getting into the best school for them. If parents (or the students) don’t listen to the CCO’s good advice and apply only to Ivies or top tier schools, you can’t blame them when you don’t get the outcomes you were hoping for. They can only do so much. The job of the CCO is not to “get your kid into college,” but rather to support your student through the process as they navigate their own path. [/quote]
