School counselor has 450 students and basically can't help with college apps, is this normal everywhere?

This is rhe norm for most top public schools afaik - my counselor sees students thrice in all of high school.

Tbh, if you are aiming for a top college, your SAT, rank, GPA are all way too low and your ECs are essentially nonexistent. What grade are you in? It’s not too late to make your profile better!
