[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended the open house for SAAS yesterday and I spoke with a college counselor. I was pleased with his answers to my questions.  My husband and I are graduates of historically black colleges(HBCUs) and would like our children to attend HBCUs as well.  We were provided with a brochure that listed where students had been accepted in the past few years.  There was a wide range of schools listed, including many HBCUs. While  walking through the building there were letters from colleges posted on student lockers (including one from West Point)- not acceptance letters but letters that were clearly responses to requests for information from students.   Obviously this is not first hand experience but they appear to be focused on making certain all students are accepted to colleges that suit their interests and needs.   Additionally, they have two people who serve as college counselors for a senior class of about 40.[/quote]

Do they really post the letters from schools they've written to, requesting information? I'm sure thats student-driven but its a really, really bad idea. It just cranks up the competition and anxiety.[/quote]
