[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found it extremely helpful in terms of peace of mind and getting answers when we needed them on various things that came up during the process. It also helped our daughter stay on task and get things done without us having to nag. Having the confidence that you're dealing with someone who truly understands the process was invaluable, IMHO. Daughter at T25 from public school. [/quote]

Same. I think the important thing with a college consultant is to understand what you're buying. I loved the one we worked with, but we went in with very clear expectations of what she could and couldn't do. Can do: answer process questions, give a POV on supplements and EC descriptions, create a timeline and help DC stay on task, keep the peace at home. Can't do: Really change the outcome - especially if they are already second-sem juniors or seniors, their grades, recs and ECs are pretty much baked in and those are the main drivers of outcome.[/quote]
