<p>I suggest ignoring trolling comments. I think it’s pretty clear that there is a great deal of variation in what GCs do at different schools. At some schools, they spend a lot of time helping kids who have legal problems, who need work permits, etc. They do a lot that has nothing to do with college selection, or even course selection. And a GC who’s handling 180 kids is probably not going to be spending a lot of time learning about any of them in detail. You may get lucky, and it sounds like OP has a GC who cares–but since the kid already met with the GC, and the results were positive, what’s the point of a meeting without the kid?</p>
