[quote=Anonymous]Prior parent here who was there during the college counselor upheaval a few years ago. SFS does not tell any senior that an Ivy League school is a target school.There are a handful of students who have unrealistic expectations despite being told repeatedly in meetings, emails, and 1:1 appointments that elite schools (<20% acceptance) are considered a reach for any SFS student. My DC took the most challenging curriculum and had fantastic grades, top test scores, APs etc. The college counselors individualize safety/target/reach schools and did not offer false hope. If anything they undershot the list for my child. They cannot force families to abide with their advice but do require the kids to apply to a few safety schools to avoid a complete shutout. [/quote]
