<p>I heard your schools CC office has been notified already of Yale decisions. Is anybody connected well enough with the CC office to find out if this is true??? What I heard was when you go in tomorrow they will know!</p>
<p>Oh god, really?!</p>
<p>From where/whom did you hear this?</p>
<p>when would they have found out because i asked my cc every day and they said they don't hear anything from them, they just get the letter we give them.</p>
<p>i know this is stupid, but what does cc stand for?</p>
<p>college counselor</p>
<p>Here is the story: Student gets notified Thursday night 9 PM of rejection goes into home room Friday morning. Teacher says I'm sorry you didn't get in your school! Student says how do you know already and she says the CC office knew ahead of time and sent an email to her home room teacher as a heads up. Now maybe they find out tomorrow about Yale only slightly ahead of the official release but I believe they will know first.</p>
<p>well i do not think so.</p>
<p>That's silly... I'm sure certain schools have better contacts than others, for the run of the mill like me, they wouldn't even bother... 12/15 means 12/15... c'mon guys, lighten up...</p>
<p>in the situation you posted razorback, it's possible that the CC learned at the same time the applicant did, and informed the teachers the next morning or that afternoon... i doubt the CC knows more information than we do, though you did get my hopes up quite a bit, lol...</p>
<p>my counselor told me to email her as soon as i found out, so i doubt CC offices know way before.
or i wonder if she'll already know the decision, and just wants to see my reaction. ugghh that's mean.</p>
<p>I can confirm this. My CC is closely tied to the admissions office at many colleges, and he has confirmed that some admissions offices notify him of decisions approximately one week in advance. They are, however, not permitted to share news of any decisions.</p>
<p>Yeah, in my school it appears that counselors are dropping hints to their students by encouraging/discouraging them to work on their RD applications. I cannot confirm this, but I do think that this is true.</p>
<p>I don't think this is true.
I hope it isn't, at least.</p>
<p>I've talked to my counselor in the past week, one time because I was freaking out over something, and she told me that it's out of my hands now and what happens, happens.</p>
<p>I don't think she knows either.</p>
<p>Your schools have counselors specifically for college? Sheesh. At my school, the guidance counselors are in charge of it, along with scheduling and dealing with students who need, well, guidance in any sense of the word.</p>
<p>^
Same here, no "college counselors," only guidance counselors, each of which has about 400 students (= ~100 seniors). I would rather find out myself, first, than have my counselor email my teachers and call me in during the day and hold my hand as she tell me I'm rejected...</p>
<p>At certain well connected schools, like mine, in which the admissions offices have close ties with the college counselors, they do drop certain hints beforehand.
But my counselor told me that Yale is known for not dropping any hints at all. Darn.
The counselors don't tell the students though or leak anything at all to them--I don't think it's allowed. Plus what if the info is false and the counselor gets the students' hopes up?
I don't think the connection is an advantage at all and definitely not at Yale.</p>
<p>"Your schools have counselors specifically for college? Sheesh. At my school, the guidance counselors are in charge of it, along with scheduling and dealing with students who need, well, guidance in any sense of the word."</p>
<p>It's one of the perks you get for the pleasure of paying 45K a year:-)</p>
<p>I think some college counselors might just be professional friends with admissions officers, because I doubt colleges would send their decisions to the CC of every single applicant.</p>
<p>Our GC had a lot of contact with Y last year. He didn't know D (and other's) results until the students told him. I think you guys are on the right track that now and then a GC knows but certainly not the majority of the time. I'd like to add that your GC's (CC's) are very much hoping for your success tomorrow. The good ones work hard to match you with appropriate schools for you to apply to, write compelling letters about you, send your transcripts, and follow up on your behalf. They want you to get in so very much, and they also know that you are each going to land somewhere right for you. The pile of colleges is not in the shape of a pyramid with a Y on top, but more of a haystack with lots of good places right there together, and more than one is going to be thrilled to have you.</p>
