That’s not a counselor call

I’ve heard of two things, advocacy calls where HS calls AO on waitlist to push for them, and then others colleges calling HS to ask if this kid is likely to attend if taken off (schools that care about yield). Don’t think either happen often.

Colleges call counselors more often than you might think. Our counselor knew which week they were reviewing my kid's app.

our high school counselor says they happen, but not often, and they can't talk about them.
they only happen now during WL period apparently and college call counselor not vice versa.
also, let's be clear: they're calling maybe 10 high schools total.

High school counselor calls AO and pitches a kid saying you want them.

I guess hoping for personal experience or loose lips? I’d think even the boarding schools with close relationships would be treading carefully in today’s world, but I don’t know…

None that you care about. Sorry, it’s not 1980 anymore.

I hope not, I think it’s gross. Our school won’t do them. Mine got off an Ivy waitlist from a public, only a LOCI.
