[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d consider going local. Reason being a local counselor should have a more accurate picture of admission trends for students in your kid’s school/area. Also, be mindful if the investment and suspicious if they start overselling “their” placements. [/quote] Reasonable advice. When I assist applicants, I encourage them to use their school counselor for their state schools due to the counselor's familiarity.[/quote] Do your research on one-man shops. College advising is a trendy way for teachers and counselors to earn a "side hustle" - what are their credentials? Are they taking credit for placements made in their main day job? How long have they been operational and how many students have they helped THROUGH THEIR BUSINESS NOT THEIR DAY JOB. Be wary of shelling out $$$ for an overworked, underpaid HS teacher who will spend 10 min on your kid's essay and charge you 400 for it.[/quote]
