On the lighter side:The greatest line I never said’ — from college admissions counselors

[Hunt]

Unfortunately, however, in many large public HSs, there is often little to no actual college counseling. And, GCs don’t have the time to get to know their students. In my sister’s case, if the GC had known her, she would have known that my sister was highly motivated, intelligent, and very diligent despite her less than stellar grades (which were brought down by testing issues).

I note again that this thread is about what guidance counselors think and say about students behind their backs–and some people are concerned that a newspaper ran an article excerpting those comments. So if a newspaper wanted to run an article about what students and parents think about guidance counselors, it could generate a scathing one based on many comments here on this publicly accessible website. Just sayin’.</p>
