<p>Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. NewHope33, thanks for the encouraging comments and the college admissions officers probably understand about large public high schools.</p>
<p>A.S.A.P., that's a good idea. I'll give it a try.</p>

First, stop STOP impersonating your parents
[/quote]
</p>
<p>I understand what you're saying but my mom actually gave me a call asking me to call the guidance and find out why they were calling her. I've been doing this for the past 3 years, I also deal with the family's finances and stuff so this is really nothing that uncommon for me. Now there are certain times when telling the truth doesn't quite work. Initially I use to tell (anyone that called basically) that my parents' English skills were quite weak and I'll gladly forward messages to them. Usually they used to hang up, so I impersonate my parents.</p>

How about then letting counselor know you hope to distinguish yourself in high school... I say give it a try!

<p>I'm quite sure telling her "I hope to distinguish myself for College Admissions" is really going to work. </p>
<p>I understand your concerns about me impersonating my parents but frankly there are moments when this is essential. Frankly my mom's the kind of person that would believe you and give you all her personal information if you tell her she won the lottery or something (this actually happened to us a few times - once someone posing as ATT, we use Verizon; another time someone claiming she got a grant or something).</p>
<p>I'll definitely discuss my future with her, I sense a conflict with my Junior year schedule so that should work.</p>

The GC sounds as if she's already overworked and understaffed and will have her hands full in the fall with her seniors

<p>You're right momrath, but imagine how overworked she's going to be when I'm a Senior (2010 - most competitive yet). I don't want to pester her or anything, just introduce myself or tell her a little about myself.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the thoughtful responses.</p>
