Maybe. I actually have never heard it work that way. What I have heard is that many schools have exclusive relationships with certain schools. That’s the way it worked with mine. Exeter and a local country day school always recruited at my Jr. High - others did not.

So the conventional wisdom these days is that when a guidance counselor or principal says “you need to look at this kid” and those recommendations resulted in good outcomes, the school often listens.

I’ve just never heard of a counselor telling a school to “not” accept a student because they were going to choose someone else. That’s a privacy issue and also - I’d hate to know that assumption was made pre-March 10th only to find out the supposedly favored school didn’t come through with FA leaving the student with no choices at all.
