<p>ellemenope, it’s true. The college counselor is great, but i’m more conservative. The college counselor gives me names of colleges that seems really good- C. Mellon, Syracuse, Rice and the like. She thinks D has a great chances to be accepted and get merit aid. I rather be more conservative. I don’t know maybe the D’s HS is highly respected among those colleges and B/B+ is more like an A compared to other HS. Besides D’s EC are outstanding. So, I believe it until I have an acceptance letter and a merit aid offer on my hand.</p>
