At my presumed “ghetto” Florida high school, the GCs were extremely helpful to their top students. Some GCs were better than others. Some were A LOT better than others. But the GCs helped with transcripts, recommendations, common app, programs that would benefit the student, awards and nominations, and much more. They really pushed to ensure the students that showed their potential could get where they’re going. While the students who applied to the top schools did have to do some of the work themselves, if they presented what help they needed from their GC, the GC would exhaust all their resources. Situations like these are uncommon, so they really strive for success. </p>
