Seniors are also upset but the parents are the ones in here.[/quote]

No, the chatter here is not reflective of SF families. It's sad trolls stirring the pot; trolls who likely have no affiliation with the school or any private school. Many of these responses detail creeping around social media accounts. This is not normal behavior, it's unstable.[/quote]

We have two kids in the upper school. Without trolling social media accounts I know what the general consensus among the senior class is. I also know that many parents with kids in 9th/10th/11th, who ask parents with older kids or recent graduates, are told that the CCO is awful.

I am not certain what posts you are referring to as far as what you think is not reflective of Sidwell families. There are certainly some weird and very nasty, incoherent posts that have cropped up this morning, about which I would agree that they are probably from trolls. But there have also been many substantive comments here that are absolutely reflective of families at the school and their disappointment.[/quote]

Kids can occasionally get into Harvard from schools where college counseling is basically non existent.

Many students (certainly not all) at elite private schools have a huge advantage in this process in that their parents are already familiar with applying and attending competitive universities and grad programs.  This is more valuable than any counselling office.[/quote]
