[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,

Given our DC goes to MCPS, we do not anticipate the counselors will have sufficient time to help with the college planning process.  As such. we are looking for someone who previously worked in college admissions to help guide our DC in choosing schools, [b]filling out applications, and writing essays[/b].  What is the best way to find such a person?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]

Not worth it.  You'll spend as much time going back and forth with the counselor about your child's academic record and interests than if you just google the process.  There is a finite range of schools.  Narrow it down.  Tippy top student aiming high?  Top 20% student aiming average? Urban? Suburban? Major?  How much can you afford?  [b]This takes 20 minutes of your time[/b] and really you know the answers than any supposed counselor.  [/quote]

Let's just say that the parent can follow your directions and replace the work of an experienced consultant with Google. Do applications and essays take 20 minutes to complete?  :roll:
