Our GC has made calls for kids on waiting lists, but I don’t think they have the time or know most of their students well enough to do more. But I agree with 3puppies it doesn’t hurt to get to know your GC better. My older son lucked out - he’s Mr. Anti-Social, but his GC was new to the school when he was a sophomore and he was able to help her figure out how to get him a better schedule. (The computer had spit out something with only 3 courses!) She was very grateful and then his PSAT score caused her to sit up and take notice of him.

I have a cousin who is a GC at a private school - since he and his wife worked in admissions at Harvard (and were undergrad and later grad students there) and lived in the Harvard dorms as tutors of course they have a relationship with Harvard that most public GCs can’t provide.
