Did your school counselor tell you NOT to apply to a "dream" college?

<p>Sorry, but that^ is ridiculous. The GC absolutely should not mention Sarah’s mom’s drinking habits, and there is no reason in the world to do so. If the GC believes that Sarah has untapped potential for various reasons, she can say so without labeling Sarah’s mom a “drinker.” How can a GC even make such a statement without verification? </p>

<p>What you have described is exactly why GC recs should NOT be protected from disclosure.</p>
