[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Sidwell parent, but I understand that after 13 years of paying half a million dollars of tuition, parents expect more than settling for a college with greater than 50% acceptance rate. If you ask parents to adjust their expectations, you are basically telling them the money invested has been wasted. Why? Because they could have gone to a 50% acceptance rate college from a public school for free and save the tuition money for college.

There are some things that money just can’t buy. I suspect that schools have tightened their “doors” post-Varsity Blues, extending that to tactics like college counselors advocating on behalf of individual students, which basically does not happen in public schools at all. [/quote]

???  It doesn't happen in private schools either. No one who isn't an idiot thinks it does. [/quote]

The CCO was very clear about this as well. They cannot and do not initiate contact with colleges on behalf of students. the AO's have WAY too much jam time to take calls from CCOs across the country. The CCO will however, talk about any applicant when an AO calls them. That is as much as the CCO can do. [/quote]
