[quote=Anonymous]Whether it is worth it really depends on what you are looking for -- the college counselors can be wildly expensive and most charge by the package rather than the hour. If you just want help finding schools, it is probably not worth it as there are not really any hidden gems that you cannot find on your own (or better, the student can find) and kids tend to apply to a finite list of schools. If you want help on essays and someone to prod the student forward, it can be useful and if you think that the counselors have "ins" with certain prestigious schools and can get your kid in, well that is not likely to happen. Our experience with limited college counseling is that it was not very helpful but we did not opt for a package and were likely a low priority. [/quote]
