<p>Right. I get that adcoms at elite schools give a damn what the GC at Exeter says, and they may know the GC at Short Hills or New Trier. Why would they give a damn what the GC at Random Decent Public High says? Why would this disembodied, random voice on the phone be a source they’d care about talking to in the first place (unless the info were of the “this kid likes to blow up buildings” sort)? That’s what I don’t get.</p>
