[quote=Anonymous]Unless you are UMC and trying to get your kid into an ELITE school, it is a total waste of money. I have a friend who hired a counselor for the DD 4 years ago -- as a rising HS freshman, Counselor laid out HS classes to take, what extra curricular activities, and where to try for leadership. This girl met every metric. State champion in the EC, leadership roles....nearly all A's with a tough load. She applied to 6 Ivy's, UVA, W & M, and Northwestern....Note there are no safeties..Thankfully, she did get into W & M. My DD, on the other hand, took what she was interested in (strong load, 10 or 11 AP's), her personality did not lend to leadership, and she did not. EC's were her interests, band and an environmental club (she was kicked out of honor societies because of service hours during band season). She was accepted to every school she applied, and will be attending W &M. Same outcome, different expenditure.[/quote]
