Could a Counselor Rec ruin my chances?

Applying to College
1

Hello

On my counselor recommendation, I’m almost positive my guidance counselor didn’t mention all of the extra curriculars I was involved in. Would a college think I was lying on my application because my counselor didn’t talk about these activities? This may seem small, but it’s really stressing me out.

You’re paranoid

  1. your counselor is not required/supposed to list your ECs. 2) Colleges don’t specific info about the school mostly; you’re of secondary importance 3) most colleges don’t evaluate any ECs, whether listed by you or corroborated by others. 4) those that do consider them, believe you on face value – they don’t expect a counselor to recounting that laundry list anyway.

1/ This is hypothetical since you have no idea what your GC wrote.
2/ I doubt any GC is going to list the entire laundry list of EC’s. I would assume they covered the major ones. Now if you won a Nobel Prize and the GC did not mention it, you might have something to worry about. :slight_smile: Otherwise, chill.

Relax. The counselor is not expected to list all of your activities.

Thanks for the assurances everyone, I’m overthinking it a lot.
