[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our CC office is (virtually) open most of winter break to help students finish RD applications. This is expected and understood by all. The staff who are working now get extra time off in the spring lull to compensate for working during this break.[/quote]

This my understanding. Also from time to time colleges do reach out asking for clarification and ask about students. They may have additional questions about the curriculum chosen and you just do not know.  It could be a disaster if a college counselor didn’t take the call and the said college just moved on to another school that has more receptive college counseling.  Keep in mind that colleges build relationships with schools. I cannot imagine a single private school in the DMV just shutting down and saying they are not available and on vacation. Some of these posts could be really upsetting to parents needlessly. Please stop it.[/quote]
This is a great point! Colleges do reach out to private college counselors and do have questions and if they are getting an automated email saying they are not available that would be detrimental to the student's application. Which school is previous poster talking about that the College Counselors are absolutely not available? That would be a school we would not apply to. [/quote]
