Do counselors find out before you do??

<p>My friend that just got into Wharton told me that her counselor knew before she did! She said that if she was more chummy with her counselor, he would have told her. Is this true??? Can we get the decisions from our counselors before we are actually notifiied?</p>

<p>No... I know at our school the counselors call the colleges and usually they don't know for sure. Usually they talk with them before the app goes to committee, so they have some sense what will happen, but they don't know for sure. There are times when the counselor will know for sure... but the large majority of the time they don't know.</p>

<p>thanks marlgirl! that makes sense. hopefully my counselor has no idea so then I won't get all freaked out by any subtle hints he makes when i talk to him about stanford...lol</p>

<p>My poor counselor is too busy trying to make sure all 400 of the students under her supervision graduate from high school...so no she doesn't know and she won't ever know unless i tell her</p>
