Counselor wrote in my recommendation that I won't be able to pay for college

<p>An adult reading that paragraph is most likely to conclude that you are a deserving student who is rising above economic disadvantage. I think that the paragraph helps you tremendously for a need-blind school: It presents you as mature and industrious. (Think: “worker,” rather than “whiner.”)</p>

<p>(I am a parent, not a student.)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
