<p>Have you come across publications discussing college admissions written by high school guidance counselors that are really good? I have seen good examples at Exeter/Boston Latin, Georgetown Prep, and a few others. </p>

<p>Do you have other good examples, especially if available online?</p>

<p>xiggi, this came up a good while back, and resulted in some good links – here’s the thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=39922&highlight=guidance[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=39922&highlight=guidance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Well, seeing as how you actully posted in the old thread . . .</p>

<p>I would say something about you being awfully young to have a senior moment, but I suppose you can’t be expected to remember all 1,161 posts! :)</p>

<p>click on Casady College Guide for either grades 9-10 or 11-12. </p>

<p>Haven’t read through the voluminous guides, but you have to appreciate a college guide that lets the parents know up front:</p>

<p>“It is one of the truisms in college admissions that it is not a level playing field. . .”</p>

<p>Brookline High School distributes a publication, “Choice, not Chance,” to freshmen and their families. It’s a great document that clearly outlines the steps that students should be taking to prepare for the college admissions process.</p>
