[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college counselors make like 85k total per year - and have how many juniors and seniors to work with?  They aren’t a college counselor getting 12k per kid!  I think parents also need to be reasonable about their expectations.  They are employees paid a relatively low wage in DC and are doing fine.  The college admission game has changed and these [b]top schools no longer can get their overly well qualified students all into t20 schools.[/b]   Test optional screwed a lot of kids, colleges looking for more diversity of all types also does not play well for the majority of sidwell parents.  What the college counselors need to tell full pay unhooked parents is your kid won’t get into an Ivy or top 20 because of this, you should ED at a target school you’d be happy at so you have a real chance.

There has never been a time that a school like Sidwell sent "all" of its kids to T20 schools. Ever. I doubt such was the case for Andover or Exetor either.[/quote]

The top boarding schools most certainly did this but it has been 60+ years since that was true![/quote]
