Calling as a student or parent would be useless. Adcoms are just like everybody else and will want to avoid confrontation. I feel for them…what a lousy part of their job.

At least your guidance counselor has a chance that the adcom will be somewhat candid since they are speaking as one professional to another. You also may find that a call isn’t necessary and the guidance counselor already has a good idea.

If I were in your shoes I would take the Olymom approach. To heck with this podunk LAC…there are many better schools for your D.
