[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sara Harberson's methodology is right on, and not expensive.  Highly recommend vs private counselors.  
We have fantastic results[/quote]
This is what we did but with mixed results so far. Some of her advice contradicts what HS counselors say.  For example, Sara says to never report at 4 to a reach school (i.e. Ivy).  School counselor said that was ridiculous.   [/quote]

What do you think of her advice regarding BC Calc as a must for business candidates? My kids is trying to decide between AB and BC for 12th and honestly I think they should take the easier one. Is there really an appreciable difference in the eyes of, say, Villanova? [/quote]

Not sure.  My kid took BC Calc before senior year, so that wasn't an issue.  She will always tell kids to take the hardest classes.  There were some parts of her advice we could not follow like taking a foreign language all 4 years.  This was another thing the school counselor disagreed with and said that was not necessary.  We will never know who was right.

From what I could tell, Villanova was a tough one this year on EA.  There was at least one girl deferred with 35 ACT and 4.0 in an IB diploma program. [/quote]

I literally haven't heard of ANYONE (save one legacy) getting in so far. We know a kid who got into UPenn ED this year (not Wharton) who was deferred at Villanova.[/quote]
