[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure you really need a private counselor. All the information is out there. Our public school counselor was brand new and worse than useless but we were able to figure it out ourselves. A lot of it is common sense and there is so much info available from admissions blogs and YouTube videos from private counselors, etc. [/quote]

I agree.  My oldest went to a public high school.  Sadly, the lone college counselor (yes, the school only had one) was battling breast cancer his junior year.  She was still working the entire year, but was out of work for long periods of time and passed away too young in the fall of his senior year.  The school did not hire a replacement until his senior year so he received almost zero counseling his junior year.

Thanks to DCUM (seriously) I actually found quite a bit of useful information here.  Info like Naviance, the Common Data Set, test prep.

One of the mistakes we made with DS was SAT registration.  Even though I went to college and took the SAT, I couldn't remember when you should take the SAT.  DS didn't take it until March of his junior year and I had to pay the late registration fee because I didn't know to sign him up in time.
