[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m quite overwhelmed by this process, but feel that $5-10k might be better spent in my kids college fund than for a consultant. On the other hand, we need some advice… Thoughts?[/quote] I think if you easily have the $10-15K to spare and want someone outside you/your partner to guide your kid through the process (including doing all the essay editing/proofing and nagging to get stuff done on time), it's fine. It's like flying business instead of economy. But from friends who've gone through the process and done it, they do tend to end up where you'd expect in terms of results. So it won't get you into a top 20 if you weren't competitive to begin with. But it can be a much more pleasant process! My sister has high anxiety so it functioned more as a family therapist and reminder-in-chief than changing the end result. She also had a lot of $$ to spare![/quote]
