[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may be trying to manage acceptances for the high school as a whole and potentially plug for some students but not others.

The high school counselor is on Team High School, not on Team Student.[/quote]

2nd paragraph is definitely true - always.

CC might know from experience that college X will only offer to 2 students each year. (Yes, that is a thing that happens at some high schools.).

S/he might be trying to make sure that most or all students get in to accepted by at least one of their top-3. By knowing top-3 for each student, s/he also can try to lobby with friendly colleges to maximize the (1 accept from top-3) outcome across the student body.

At my HS, back then and even today, the Lacrosse coach was politically untouchable, because he frequently (not always) could get a 3rd student accepted at several Ivys on a Lacrosse "bye" (no $, but some Ivys would accept an extra person - beyond their usual quota for that HS - if they needed a Lax player that year.)[/quote]
