[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Limited sample size, but three families I know who went all in with college counselors to find the "perfect match" for their kids, well, all three bailed before the end of the first semester.

Our two college kids got tremendous support from their public school counselors.  One kid was really motivated and the other not so much, but honestly, he really matured through the college search process because we really put the planning and execution of the whole process on his shoulders. This is not something you hire out like getting your taxes done or having someone deliver your groceries IMO.[/quote]

Sounds like the kids who bailed had motivation or other issues and the families hired counselors to push the application process along?[/quote]

Actually, all three had variations on the same theme - learning issues that required a specific environment for the student to thrive.  The counselors/coaches were hired to find that perfect match for these kids' learning styles and get them set up with arrangements in which they would be successful.  FAIL.[/quote]
