<p>I may be wrong here, but I think that most colleges are aware that GCs at large schools have a lot of work to do and a lot of students to deal with - they most likely understand that most counselors won’t know the applicant very well at all. However, what the counselor can do is to provide information about the high school (competitiveness, curriculum, etc.) and context about the student in relation to his/her peers. Of course, it would be nice to get to know your counselor more personally, but I would say don’t stress TOO much about it.</p>
