[quote=Anonymous]Make sure you tell them exactly what you want help with: building a balanced college list (or do you have one?), essay help? Just the common app essay or all supplementals/UC/MIT etc?, Activity List and Hinors editing?

How will they help position your kid? Will the help with a narrative or Soundbite?

Will they keep your kid on track?

Help with applications strategy? Rea/ea/ed/rd

How many hours/colleges are included?

What is deferred or rejected from REA/ED school? Will they review app or will they be done by Dec 1? When will they be done? Get a date so there’s no confusion.

Will they help with FAFSA/CSS or recommend colleges for merit if kid qualifies?

How about LOCI?

Where have their previous students been admitted? Same tier as your kid wants?

What kind of education do they have? There are the UC courses that are great. Some people do a summer institute that is just not enough.

Are they members of IECA or HECA? These give a support network for questions your IEC might not be able to answer.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
