[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you at public or private school? My impression is that the private schools are doing better as their counselors cultivate relationships with admissions offices. [/quote]

We are in public and were happy with all the school did.  We are happy with the process.  Naviance provided excellent information and helped set expectations.  Which is what I think is important- managing expectations and aiming for schools that are the best fit and not necessarily the flashy ones (although they they may be).

OP- you said that your child got in to 3 great schools.  I don't see how that is brutal.  That is great, he has choices. [/quote]

NP here, agree.  College applications aren't a test where you're shooting for 100 %.  You're trying to find the best fit for your interests and personality out of the places that want you.  Kind of like dating.    [/quote]

Oh my goodness, y'all just make stuff up! It's not about 100%, it's about the process and how the demands that are expected of kids to even hope of getting in, are increasing to almost inhuman proportions, and how they are being used in a ratings game. And parents seem to just push their kids over the cliff like lemmings. [/quote]
