[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering how much of it is true.  Everyone says test prep is not needed, college counseling is a scam, tutoring is for the slow, blah blah.
The truth is in nyc even their nanny's contact information is confidential.  They just don't share it with you.  [/quote]

There’s some truth to this. People hoard information when they think there is scarcity around it.

I am in a different market, not in the DC metro area, but everyone has essay coaches and test prep. Most people start a lot earlier than you imagine.

However, there’s a large chunk of folks who don’t go beyond that and hire a full-fledged college counselor. They do use the private schools college counseling office (YCBK had a whole set of podcast sessions on the role of private college counselors for private high school student specifically this month) and things like application nation, plus an outside essay coach.

If you search counselor and essay coach on here, people have posted names countless times.

This site is not as active as it used to be a few years ago so I would highly recommend you use the search function.

Good luck.[/quote]
