[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, you do not need one. I used one with first dc because i had just moved here and didn't even know the names of the schools, but it was a TOTAL waste of money. The DC scene is just no that big and it's easy to get info on all of them. It's also so easy to eliminate some based on the specific criteria for your family so then you can focus on fewer. Don't waste your money and just spend a little time researching the schools web sites. Get the dates and march through the process. It's really not as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be here.[/quote]

I could've written this post. So frustrating. Absolutely agree, OP. Save your money. Buy a book, get on the web, read the posts (you will get some information about the schools that you can't from the standard info put out by the schools. Take it with a grain of salt, but dont discount it. IME, there are grains of truth in all of it), and definitely make appointments to see the schools yourself. Often, the school I was sure I was going to love was the one we knew we'd never apply to after the campus visit, and vice versa. It's an interesting process. Don't be intimidated by it. It's not nearly the big deal it's made out to be once you get started. GL. [/quote]
