5 Most Important Questions For Your Teen's High School Counselor

Our college admissions series continues this week with a topic EVERY PARENT of a college bound teen in grades 8-11 NEEDS to hear. The counselors are coming, friends, and you want to be prepared. With caseloads upwards of 400:1, you want to make the most of whatever time you get. Even with the best of intentions, it can feel superrrr awkward and unproductive. So, let's fix that. After almost three decades working IN schools, FOR schools as a consultant, and now as an independent college admissions strategist working with families from all over the USA, it's clear parents need some talking points to help guide this important conversation with the high school counselor. Whether it's a family meeting or it's on your teen to do (most) of the talking, let's make sure you know what to ask.
