“It’s amazing how bad of a job so many GCs do to educate both parents and students about merit schools and FA-only schools.”

I have pointed out before, do not rely on anybody, do your own research. All councelors are interested to put a kid in the most competitive college, because it reflects on councelor’s “good job”. Keep that in mind and the same goes when they transition from UG to Grad. school. You will be paying, not councelors. They are not bad, they have different goals from your goal. It is very evident at every level.
