[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Poster.  OK, but public monies pay the counselors, along with almost all that goes on at BASIS DC.  I know several families with seniors who are hiring outside counselors under the radar this year. Kids shouldn't have to wait for the two counselors to gain hands-on experience, with kids as guinea pigs.  The complain is not a personal issue, designed to hurt the counselors' feelings, it's a systemic problem. Show me the DC public high schools with strong college counseling.  It seems there is none, which stinks.

Who loses out when college counselors are inexperiencewd? Mostly poor kids as usual.[/quote]

Parents in private schools also hire private counselors. It's common in our region because people are anxious and want an edge, or to make sure they are doing everything they can. BUt it impossible to say what makes the difference. It isn't like we can run an experiment on the same kid applying both ways.

My kid graduated BDC in 2019. Didn't use a counselor; worked with the one who is still there from last year. Good advice and support and very strong outcomes both in terms of admittances and scholarships. Obviously this is personal and YMMV. [/quote]
