[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On YCBK today the host and Julia talked about how private counselors can make it worse for students at independent schools. Anyone have experience with this? [/quote] Yes. At my DDs school, the few kids who got into Ivy's did not use private college counselors. The vast majority of families used private counselors though, and likely strived for Ivy but ended up at the Wake Forrests, Tufts, Tulane tier schools. A lot of false hope for mediocre kids from ambitious families.[/quote] What does everyone assume they want their kids at ivies? My two high stats kids both didn't have ivies on their lists but got into very selective schools with the help of an outside consultant.[/quote]
