Frustration over LAC's

You’ll just have to continue on without any help from your guidance counselor. I had the same thing happen to me when I was applying to OOS LAC’s that are considered pretty good but my GC had never heard of. Where I’m from you just pick one of the state schools and go there…nobody ever goes OOS. So I just had to be really organized and tell my GC which forms to fill out and where to send them.

Before everybody rags on the GC, keep in mind that at schools like mine (and, probably, the OP’s), 99% of the population has no interest in the best schools in the country, so there is no motivation for the GC to become well-informed about Amherst or Williams.
