[quote=Anonymous]I am a stay at home parent who is thinking about starting my own business. I graduated from an Ivy League school (honest) and have done interviews for that school for decades, so I've seen lots of great applicants over the years.

Has anyone here used/considered a consultant to help them with college admissions? If so, do you mind answering some questions? I am NOT soliciting any business here - just trying to see if such a business is quasi-viable.

1. How much did this person charge? Was it on time & materials, or a fixed-price proposition?

2.  Did you end up using his/her services?  Why or why not?

3.  What services did this person offer for your money?

4.  Were you please with the services offered?

5.  Did you get a "rebate" if you weren't please with the results?

6.  Any other comments about the experience?

I'm not looking to gouge people; just wanted to see if it's realistic to get a few client and make some side money.  I know a decent amount about the process, and can help someone with the application, essay and sources for testing help.  Just trying to see if it's worth putting up a few signs (yes, I recognize the best litmus test is actually putting a few signs up).

Thanks for any input out there.[/quote]
