高中的升学辅导员(college counselor) 的任务

        Rate It

Their job is to help students prepare themselves the best for
colleges that fit their interest and condition. They are also
the bridge between the student and college admission officers.

I read the following question and answer on MIT blog:

Question -

I have one child applying to colleges now, and three more yet to go through the process, and I’m curious to know to what extent the strength (or weakness) of particular high schools factors into admissions decisions and what information on the the high schools the admissions staff has access to.”

MIT answer -
The guidance counselor (or college counselor) reports go a long way in this. First, the counselors will attach the official school profile which gives us a bunch of info (courses offered, range of grades, colleges attended by previous graduating classes, average test scores, a deion of the school’s location and local resources, etc.) Then the GC will usually write a long report that puts a given student into context, within his/her school community. The teacher evaluations definitely add to this as well. If after reading all of this we still feel like we need more info, we’ll call the school’s counseling department directly.
