[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot defend the price, but OP I doubt that you understand what elite top 12 universities are seeking. You certainly did get that from those websites.[/quote]

Actually, I know what they are looking for. I interview for one (HYP) and have for 25 years. I’ve watched who gets in from the DC region since I started. The high stats kids without the below no longer get in.  They want at least one of the following and maybe 2 or more

-world class research as a high school kid. I mean multiple publications, awards etc. 
-URM / first in family to go 
-kid from part of the world or US where very few apply to that college (dakotas yes, rural Maine yes, Bethesda no)
-legacy where parent donates at least $2m (a mere 250k or annual giving every year is a no)
-recruited athlete. The more niche the sport, the better. Fencing would be A+
-if not URM, and especially if private school kid 1530+ and 4.0++

The counselor charging $750k can’t control most on that list. Their mere existence, of course, co-locates with the $2m mega donor.
