Do guidance conselors get notified of your admission decision?

<p>Pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>i really don’t think so, at least mine didn’t.</p>

<p>Colleges don’t tell them. Students, however, should take the time to tell them.</p>

<p>I believe my son’s school asks students to supply where they were accepted, denied and waitlisted and where they matriculate in order to track those kinds of things. But this info comes from the students. They ask for copies of letters (they don’t just take a kid’s word for it) but I don’t think it is a required thing.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure the schools don’t report back to the schools. For a big school that would be 30,000 notices to sort and send out!</p>

<p>Our schools do ask students for all their admission status and they keep track of all acceptances and rejections in school Naviance system. Also, the counselors do communicate and keep in touch with a lot of admission offices, and they are asked to send mid year grades to the schools that accept the students.</p>

<p>Some schools do tell the GC, but my GCs asked we keep her posted.</p>

<p>This is an unusual question. Don’t you want your counselor to know the results of your applications?</p>

<p>In short, Yes, they do. From volunteering in my sons’ high school guidance office, I know that most schools send a list of admitted students to the high school counselors. And the one’s that don’t send a list on their own often are contacted by the hs counselor to obtain the admissions results to use in advising next year’s class. </p>

<p>Also, remember that your guidance counselor needs to send final official transcripts to the office of whatever school you have chosen to matriculate at.</p>

<p>Columbia sent a letter to my high school that listed each applicant and their decision. Don’t know if that’s the case with most other schools.</p>

<p>Don’t know… but yeah, you should update them. =]</p>

<p>At my school it’s our responsibility as seniors to post our results/decisions on our school’s Naviance system. The guidance counselors find things out that way.</p>

<p>I was told by our school’s guidance secretary that they got all the decisions from the schools and that’s how Naviance was populated, so they didn’t need our list of acceptances.</p>
