[quote=Anonymous]Start asking friends and family who have seniors or students who are in the first years of college.  (My opinion, 9th grade is early.  But, we talked to counselors when DC was a junior and some said it was "late".  Depends on your goal.)

I found someone through an old boss.  Then I just started asking friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc.  Did they use a counselor (not everyone did).  If they did, did they like the counselor and if so could I have the contact info.

Then I called a few, explained why we were considering a counselor (DCPS, so not much counseling help and no state school) and asked how it worked, what it cost, what you got for that, etc.

The main thing you may want to know is the philosophy.  Is the counselor there for the Ivy or die types?  Good for the person who needs the best school for the cheapest price?  Just want the best fit for your DC or your DC knows exactly what they want and you are hoping to broaden the pool, etc.

Now, I have friends calling me and asking who we used.  I have passed on names of the counselor we used and some we talked to but didn't use depending on the family.[/quote]
