[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will be facing this soon so serious question.....do I need the counselor?  I am another type of counselor, have worked at a few univerisities in my younger years.

My kid is very average but very social/ well-liked in general by teachers/ adults.  He is defintely liberal arts.

I want small for him as he will need a connection to faculty/staff as has adhd issues.

He also has a good connection to our catholic faith so I am thinking look at a few small catholic schools and a few small state schools in VA like Mary Wash or Longwood and call it a day.  I can speak to them about cost and I can look on line to see if they want 3 or 4 yrs of a language, for example.

He is Eagle Scout, does a sport, and very involved with youth group, so will have referneces.  Am I missing something? Love his counselor but she is young and seems overwhelmed, career center person not impressed. I really like our large public so nothing against them but I just don't see the need.  Is this wrong and should I be working with them?[/quote]

The first question before any other is: what is your estimated EFC and can you afford it? As a rule, Catholic schools are not particularly generous with financial aid, so if you need it, tread cautiously.[/quote]
