<p>Exactly! I just posted on the other thread too and forgot one thing - my son is applying to colleges he never would have, had he not been at prep school. His mind is opened up to all new possibilities. And as WellMeaningDad says - the student/counselor ratio is MUCH MUCH lower so the process itself has to be better. Some high schools I know of have 3 guidance counselors - and it’s not only their job to split the 400 kid senior class, but they are the academic counselors for everyone else too. TIme is really split.</p>
