<p>Your guidance counselor may have a "school profile" that is sent with evaluations, which talks about what classes the school offers, how grades are reported, what percentage of kids go to four-year colleges, etc. If they don't have a profile already written up, then yes, it would be helpful for them to provide some context for your accomplishments. Look at the Secondary School Report form in the freshman app and you'll see the kinds of questions the guidance counselor is asked. If the GC doesn't deal with many students aspiring to MIT or similar schools, it would be perfectly fine for you to meet with the GC and ask them to be sure to mention in their write-up how you maxed out on the available courses.</p>
<p>And Hriundeli is correct, you are not compared to other applicants, you are evaluated individually in the context of your school and how you took advantage of the opportunities that were available to you. MIT Admissions does not have regional or state admissions representatives.</p>
