<p>What do you mean they can block college apps they don’t approve of?</p>
<p>My advice is to do all your research on your own. Nobody helped me with college or grad school apps, and the counselors in college were surprisingly clueless about grad school admissions, too. There are a lot of forums out there that can help you in the process. Counselors, from my experience, in high school and college, don’t really know anything.</p>
