Applying to College

<p>My son is in a California public school. Because his former counselor got promoted, there is an interim counselor right now and I just heard that he will have a new counselor starting on Oct.10.</p>

<p>I'm a bit worried due to 1) new counselor is not familiar with son's HS, 2) my son wants to apply EA, and not sure if the new counselor can finish a fair school report within that short period of time.</p>

<p>I'm thinking to ask the school to let my son works with another counselor (there are 3 counselors in total, the other two are veterans. But my son is assigned to this newcomer by his last name).</p>

<p>At the same time, will this hurt my son's relationship with the new counselor? Really appreciate if can share some thought and ideas with me.</p>

<p>If you don’t have a parents brag sheet and/or student resume, create one now. I made one based on old brag sheet posts. Our GC doesn’t know our son well, he also asked a teacher that was close to him to offer to help the new GC.</p>

<p>Thank you MizzBee.</p>

<p>My son just finished a brag sheet and a resume (one of the last year’s senior friend shared him the forms). The brag sheet is like a student profile answering some questions, not completed by me though.
You made a very good point, even my son’s former GC doesn’t know my son well. I think to ask a teacher to help out the new counselor is a good idea.</p>
