Talking with school guidance counselor about BFA process

@BFAbff I didn’t notice your reply till after I just posted above, which is hard to understand given that you were the first to reply! (I really do find this new layout a bit odd at times).

But just wanted to give you a special thank you for giving an answer from “the other side”. It’s so helpful that you are around these boards giving guidance to us parents navigating this tricky new terrain. :slight_smile:

Speaking of which, wow, it never occurred to me that school GCs might actually call BFA admission reps to get inside information on their students’ prospects or perhaps press their case. I guess it’s nice they want to help but I imagine this only adds to stress on reps who might already be fielding calls from many students and parents at a very busy time.

Was your impression that these GCs were doing this on their own initiative, or had they been requested to do so by students/parents? And might this be something to discuss with the GC, as in perhaps very nicely suggesting that they might resist the urge to place such calls on your child’s behalf?
