With Harvard accepting 7.1 % of its 27,462 applicants, and other schools perceived to be the best, why don't the professionals in the guidence office steer the students to the great alternative schools available? To answer my own question, I remember our own experience when our daughters were doing their searches. The guidence office was understaffed, and assigned so much mandated busy work, they just did not have time to help the juniors and seniors in the college selection process, let alone getting to know them. Really informative.
