My best friend's guidance counselor has been refusing to let her apply to certain colleges, flat-out telling her that she'll never get in. She won't even let her try. The only college she's been pushing her towards is the local community college where, as my friend has explicitly stated over and over again, she has absolutely no interest in attending.

Won't let her try? Umm she can apply by herself she doesn't need the counselor...
That's not really the point. Her guidance counselor, the person who is supposed to be helping her, isn't taking anything she says into consideration and is basically telling her she's automatically going to fail, so why bother giving it a shot. I admit, some of the schools she's looking at are pretty far out of her reach, but you're not supposed to just shut the students down like that.

Oh don't get me wrong I fully agree that the counselor is wrong for that but she should try anyway I applaud her for wanting to apply for schools that may seem out of reach it shows ambition
Yeah, I think she might still try for some of them. I hope she does, anyway. Some would actually probably be impossible but like I said, you don't just flat out stomp on her dreams.
