My DC is in MS.  We've only heard wonderful things about the College Counseling department in the US at our current school, particularly the head of it, from friends who have gone through the process at school.  [b]I was shocked to recently learn that many if not "most" 11th grade families at our school, despite liking and appreciating the services of the CC dept, hire outside consultants to assist with the college selection/essay process.  [/b]

Is that typical among other private schools?  DCUM'rs will you hire consultants or rely solely on your school's internal CC team for guidance?

Thanks in advance for your insights.[/quote]

Really, "you're shocked" that envelop pusher parents of the kind we have in Washington would hire someone to write their kids college essays? It doesn't stop there.... some parents even pay services to write their college papers for them and some Mom's call professors to argue for a "B" to be changed to an "A". Yes, in college . Their rationalization is nothing more self-examining then " we are paying 60K a year, we should be able to call the professor as parents"

America is going to shit one spoiled infantalized BRAT at a time. And god help us all when we expect these human beings to run the country. We thought boomers were self absorbed...geesh. get ready.[/quote]
