<p>Check out the Jan 2005 issue. The one with the headline on the cover reading "4.0 GPA. 1600 SAT. Keep trying, kid"</p>
<p>It covers quite a few of the topics touched on here at CC, but focuses on the increasingly popular use of private college counselers. The part about the UCs is pretty good. </p>
<p>However I think I should warn that the slant of the article (as hinted by the headline) may unfortunately just raise the anxiety of more parents of sophomores and juniors.</p>
<p>Mr. B: I tried <a href="http://www.lamag.com%5B/url%5D">www.lamag.com</a> and was able to access that issue, but unfortunately it won't show you that particular article. I don't know if it's available online somewhere else. I just happened to recently receive this issue and was wondering to myself why nobody had mentioned it in these forums before.</p>
