College Advising at Prep School

I may have mentioned this above - or on another thread.

There seems to be a shortage of CA’s at some schools - that is what I am hearing from other BS and local private school parents. Maybe it’s pay related? Workload?

On the college side, there have been a few colleges that are currently without regional reps for New England and/or the boarding schools in the Northeast. At a couple of the colleges we visited over the summer there were seasoned admissions folks who explained that it’s been difficult since COVID hiring reps for certain regions. They were kind and said something like “I know your kiddo’s school very well - here is my card, call me if you have questions or want to chat”.

BTW @CateCAParent describes much more meeting time with CA than our kid received/receives. WOW! I hear from kiddo’s dentist more often :grimacing:
