do HS counselors call elite schools in March?

<p>OK so I've been told by HS college counselor (mid-sized high-quality public in large state) that regional adcoms at Ivy's are not accepting any calls in March from HS college counselors to follow up with students mid-year reports. True? False? Somewhere in between? I have a notion that the PRIVATE HS counselors are making calls (and getting those calls accepted) on behalf of their students, but maybe I am off base. If you have information or experience here, please be specific. Thanks!</p>

<p>Colleges counselors may be RECEIVING calls from regional adcoms if they want to get a better “read” on a student under consideration or to ask a particular question about a student, but NO counselors are trying to reach Ad coms by phone in March when they are in the middle of deliberations.</p>

<p>OK thanks - anyone else have thoughts/experience here?</p>

<p>Usually the only way they’ll talk to the adcoms is if they’re called for more information or for clarification of something on the application.</p>

<p>I attend a boarding school and our calls go straight to adcoms at HYPSMC.</p>

<p>This is during March as well. Our head of college counseling WILL call adcoms at their home if he wants during committee reading time.</p>
