Anyway, we really respected each other. In a million years, he couldn’t have figured out my kids’ college list. And I still don’t know how to bail a teenager out of jail.



I respect my kids’ GC a lot and she has been helpful in other regards. Selective college admissions just isn’t one of those areas. Not enough of her caseload falls into that bucket that it is worth her developing a competency in that area. And developing a competency in that area, knowing schools, traveling to them, developing relationships with adcoms, etc. takes an awful lot of time and money that she just doesn’t have. Look – why should she travel to the East or West Coasts to go scout out my pet selective schools when 85% of her case load is going to go local? It would be a poor allocation of her resources, however much it might personally please me to have her know something about it.
