<p>I didnt know where to create this topic so i chose this forum.
I have a very important(for me)questions.
Everybody has or had a guidance councelor in their H.S,but not everybody used to be in good relations with them.Lets just say your guidance councelor extremely hates you.Whats the worst thing that can happen out of that?Can he lower your grades/gpa in transcript?Does he have the access to your grades(access to change them)?Can your guidance councelor get in the way of you getting into your dream college?Please tell me whats the worst thing that he can do to you?
Sorry for mistakes.</p>
<p>you won't have to worry about that. Even the worst ones wouldn't go to the extremes of ruining someone's future such as what you've mentioned. Well at least as far as i know. Just try to open up yourself more to the counselor, talk more, tell him/her about your dream and such stuff.... It's hard to start, but gets easier and VERY helpful if you keep the relationship going !!!</p>
<p>Barring some kind of psychosis, I think the most harmful thing a GC can do is just to write an average recommendation and maybe neglect to give you helpful advice here and there. The prospect of he or she changing grades is a little ridiculous.</p>
<p>But can he though?Does he have acces to your grades?</p>
<p>Generally a separate office in the school sends out transcripts. In my D's school it's called the registrar's office. The counselors aren't involved with the transcripts at all. </p>
<p>However, most colleges require a recommendation form from the guidance counselor so that would be the place where he/she might write down something negative. </p>
<p>Could you possibly request a change to another counselor if there is more than one at your school? Also make sure that you select teachers to write your recommendations that will say good things about you. Then the admissons people will see that the problem is just between you and the counselor and not between you and everybody. </p>
<p>This will also be affected by which colleges you apply to. Some, especially the public schools, are more numbers oriented and don't ask for recommendations. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
