[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you. We've wrestled with this, too, and decided against consultants as we wanted the kids to develop a solid sense of self and pride of accomplishment. In our case, using a consultant and curating a plausible life for their applications I fear would impart the idea that we did not trust or value their decisions, interests or abilities. The cost is too high at a crucial time of parental influence (the high school years before they launch) and the value of self-governance and trust that we give them by allowing them to own the application process will hopefully serve them well over their lifetime. Every situation is different and we see that private consultants can achieve goals. Parents want the best for their child. It's understandable. However, don't discount the message you send to your child when or how you engage this service. Consider guidance vs. curation. [/quote]
