[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish the OP had told us what private school. Our kid has similar stats at a Big 3 -  That said this is why despite being at a big 3, we are hiring a private outside college counselor. We have lost faith in our school's college office. They seem arrogant and out-of-touch. The party line is "everyone knows how amazing and rigorous our school is!" But the admissions stats are not in line with that dated assertion. Also our school limits the number of applications despite kids like the OP's being shut of everywhere. That enrages me- we pay 50k I year if my kid wants to apply to 12 schools they should be able to! We are taking things into our own hands and advocating early. The Op's post really worries me.  That said, OP best of luck with the waitlist and I would pressure your school counselor to advocate for your kid![/quote]

Big 3 or not...you’re placing too much weight on your school counselor.

She can’t write essays for them or do anything about their transcript.

Help your kid write their resume. Start apps and essays this summer. Apply wisely.

What else do you want? If you have a network, go for it. Donate millions, reach out to your buddy Bill Gates.

What the hell do you expect from your school counselor? She’s not a miracle worker.[/quote]
