[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have so many regrets. I would not do it again. Ask them if they work on finding “fit” or help package your kid for more reach schools? That’s a major consideration. Most counselors guide parents away from reach schools. They prefer easy happy “best fit” results. But you don’t need a counselor for that. It’s not brain surgery. After going through it with a well known counselor, my feeling is that it’s a complete racket. [/quote]

Not the OP, but a parent with 2 high schoolers and a middle schooler here.  Would you mind elaborating?  Were you unhappy with the cost, service, outcome or ??[/quote]

The outcome was good, but it’s because of my research and advice. Not the counselor. I ended up disregarding his advice, which caused friction. Who wants to deal with that? In the end, I felt I had an interloper in the process who had their own interests/philosophy in mind not ours. My recommendation is to hire someone for essays only. [/quote]

Agree. I spent hours watching CC videos online and reading. Best advice I found was about essays and how to best write the EC activities.[/quote]

Any tips? Should it be “impact” based? Or not?[/quote]
