That’s most college counselors. To be honest, most of us could be college advisors now.

If you’ve done this for a couple of kids and you’ve been clued into a variety of resources, you know what makes a strong application. You can also recognize a weak application.

I would never pay for a full service college advisor. Pick and choose and get the best advice… Ad hoc advisory services… essay help… Application reviews from former AO…[/quote]

Exactly. It’s not brain surgery. I did pay and regret it.

As for this guy, I actually like his podcast because he’s saying something different than everyone else. He isn’t wishy washy. He ONLY advises for top 10-20 colleges, so his advice doesn’t apply to my kid — but if you’re applying to the most selective universities in the country then I think he is worth listening to.
