[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this question has probably been asked many times before, but I wanted to reach out specifically to parents whose kids were admitted to a top 25 schools, either in the most recent admissions cycle or in the past few years. Which college consultant (if any) did you use, and how was your experience? Please, no snark , just hoping for genuine, firsthand recommendations or feedback from those who have real information to share. Thanks in advance! [/quote] None. My kid did all the work on their own, including researching the schools, charting deadlines, scheduling visits, prioritizing the list, writing their essays, getting recommendation letters, completing tge applications, emailing schools with any questions, etc. I proofread the essays for errors like punctuation or spelling, but the work was all their own. Accepted to every top 25 school they applied to except 1 (waitlisted Notre Dame) and 2/3 of the top 10 schools they applied to (rejected from Princeton) The kid is doing well in a very rigorous engineering program, above a 3.5 gpa.[/quote] Oh, and I paid. And paid. 15 school applications.[/quote]
