[quote=Anonymous]OP- we are at a private (not big3 either), unhooked. Similar type of kid. We did NOT hire one. Kid took advantage of mock ACT and mock SAT offered at school sophomore year. They had an outside company--get a free meeting with test administrator. Determined ACT was best fit. They wrote their common app essay in English class end of Junior year (very rough). Starting point for ACT was fairly high--we just did a month or so of 1-v-1 test prep with a tutor before the first test. Essay --I helped my kid through several additional drafts. No counselor. I mean, I'm not sure exactly what parents need help with course selection---obvs. APs in core courses. Recommended # thru school counselor. Kid did really, really well last year. The HS counselor was enough. We met once or twice with specific questions--one about EA vs ED, one after a deferrment--strategy. Kid was accepted to 15 out of 16 schools and at an Ivy unhooked.[/quote]
