popcharlie93: I think this really blows, and your counselor is ridiculous, but they are just one person. How much this will hurt probably depends on what type of school you attend (is it rural and not exactly reputable-as in, nobody at Brown is ever going to have heard anything from this counselor before? or is it a big popular prep school in NYC where the counselors have interacted with top schools for years now?) Most likely, if she is doing that, she is a silly lady. And combined with the transcripts that show your 10 APs, your list of Activities that show how hard you worked, and hopefully your teacher recs and essays that show how awesome you are, you should be fine. It won’t help, but it will not kill you at all. This is just my humble opinion though. Good luck!

And no offense ArKhAiK, but that sounds rather ■■■■■-like my friend. At least he admits he has no idea what he is talking about. :)
