I think it all depends on how you define college advising. On this board people say that it is finding the best fit for your child, but I think ‘fit’ is relative, elusive, and for most kids there are a lot of colleges that could give them a great experience. In real world, college advising in private schools is all about helping to get your kid into the school they selected, often parents’ alma mater, or whatever other place they are hang up on for various reasons. If the counselors are lucky, there are 3-5 acceptable options the kids/families would be happy with.
