[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think you have taken a lot of unfair criticism. There is nothing wrong with wanting to do everything possible to make sure your DD has the resume for a viable application to an Ivy when she is a senior. I agree that getting in is a lottery. The most important thing you need to know about the process in privates is that by the time the college counselor gets involved your D's story has been written. Your D needs to take the most rigorous curriculum offered in order to have a viable application, but the college counselor only signs-off on the senior year schedule. Frankly, the college counseling at our school sucks! It is too little, too late and plain bad. However, you have no choice but to work with them as they write a very important letter of recommendation for your D. They love the kids who ED to a match or safety and are horrified by the kids that want to have options in April to choose from. Good luck![/quote]
