My guidance counselor is nice, and seemed to know about the selective colleges that I’m applying to, but he barely helped me (probably because I was so knowledgeable due to CC!). I’ve only met with him to have him sign my app fee waiver forms, and to show him my acceptance letters.

My previous counselor is currently on maternity leave, but I didn’t see much of her last year, either. She called me down once to see if I was interested in colleges (this meeting is mandatory for juniors). By then, I had already been researching for years, and had a rough list going, albeit this list changed dramatically before January 1st. I had already done visits, and I had rough drafts of my app essays. I suppose if I was less prepared, she would have been loads more useful. I did course selection, too, but I only went to see her when I couldn’t fit all of my APs. Unlike most people in my school, I began to plan my schedule as soon as the new course list is released, so I had an awesome list of what I wanted to take.
