[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly we need a new checkbox on the Common App: Did you work with a college counselor other than the one at your school on this application?[/quote] And then what? Colleges have no interest in removing these students from the applicant pool. There’s a host of reasons people use counselors: maybe parents are from abroad and find our system confusing. Many a kid is first gen and getting free counseling from a CBO. Maybe a kid has learning differences and searching for a special college that fits well. Maybe students are looking for merit and a counselor is advising them on list building? Using a counselor isn’t problematic. But using someone who writes your essay & creates a false profile is. Big difference [/quote]
