[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a 40+ page thread in the College forum about the SFS CCO.

Bottom line, there is one person whose kid got into their ED who is complaining incessantly about the lack of engagement their kid received.

[b]Uh, their kid got in to their ED, they didn't NEED more engagement.[/b]

The post-COVID college process and acceptance rates are a phenomenon that parents and CCO's are going to need to deal with. By the time your kid is in the tube for it, there will be a better handle on how to approach it.[/quote]

Students were supposed to have their lists finalized before ED decisions came out. And the CCO understandably was not really available to schedule new meetings with students in the few days before break, or during. So your critique of that poster makes no sense. Students who got in early needed the same engagement from the CCO to help develop a list as students who did not get in early.[/quote]

Families should have the lists and strategy fully thought out.

1) Any ED/SCEA
2) All EA's
3) What happens if ED is deferred or denied (ie ED2)
4) Decision tree as EA's come in; ideally hearing from at least 1 that the student is happy with before the holidays so you know whether to scramble for more safeties or focus on more target/reach schools for the Jan deadline.

The student should be requesting the transcripts and recommendations be sent to any school they are planning on applying to, and discuss their strategy with the CCO in plenty of time so as to not jam them before the holidays.
