[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to see a grass root movement of applicants using the additional information section to note that they didn't use a private counselor [/quote]

How can you ensure the students wont lie about using a college counselor? They lie about ECs, race and everything in between..[/quote]

There is no way to track it. Also, it's not a fair question.  Given that Private school kids get the equivalent of what I hired (a $4K for 4 full years of college counseling, all in), IMO most Private school kids should have to check that box.  
But there would need to be a different box for people spending $10-20K, and 20K+

I think it's an assumption based on your zip code of what level of CC you likely have

That’s true.

Colleges expect a more curated application full pay private school students. 
All the bells & whistles [/quote]

Private school kids do not get the kind of CC you are paying for -- they are paying for the outside counselors too. Sadly, I learned that too late for my kids.[/quote]
