[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url]I find this guy annoying. I think it's a case of making things sound complicated so you need an "expert".[/url] But I do think it's interesting that he said school can't see how many times you've taken the SAT, which is what I've always thought. But I was in an admissions sessions one time when I asked the AO there if they could see, and he said they could. Which I thought was ..not possible. And then I heard somewhere .. maybe YBK .. that some colleges will give a side eye to an applicant with a high SAT score if they've taken it more than 3 times. On this one point, I'd be interested. My first kid took it twice, was fine with it. My second kid doesn't understand why you wouldn't take it a half dozen times if you can afford it. He's like, I'm def not studying for it more but I'm also not doing anything else productive on a Saturday morning and some of this is luck - either I hit a problem I dont know or I hit 5 problems I dont know. [/quote] You hit the nail on the head with this comment. This underscores almost the entire college counseling industry. They make you think you NEED their expertise to help you navigate the process. They purposely make it seem harder than it is. [/quote]
