[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted below about finding a college counselor for my SN kid, but I think I underestimated the price.  $700 an hour is a huge amount for our budget.

A few people have suggested to me that I just call the schools that my son is interested in.  However, I am loathe to do that.  His story is unusual enough, and our questions are specific enough to his story, that I worry that, even if I don't give my name, the admissions officer will recognize the story when we apply.  I don't want either a situation where they write my kid off for having a total helicopter mom, or where we decide not to follow the advice and then it looks like we didn't respect their opinion.

Given all that, I'm now thinking of calling schools on the other side of the country.  I'm pretty sure my son will want to stay within driving distance, so I'm thinking that if I find comparable schools across the country, I can call the admissions office without risking confidentiality.  However, my question is, are schools consistent enough about these things?  If I call a small liberal arts school that offers X and Y majors and Z kinds of support for kids with SN, and accepts kids with A, B, and C, academic characteristics, will it be likely that the'll give me the same answers as a similar school on this coast?

Or is this just another really bad idea.[/quote]
