[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently ran across a counseling company who claims the 9% admit rate of DS's major reach school is really more like 50% when you consider that most applicants are qualified, and further claims their clients have a historical 90% admit rate there. Wondering if it's worth the $5000+ to hire them.[/quote]

No consultation worth less than $100K is worth anything. Save your money.[/quote]

This is the exact opposite of the truth.

There are no secrets, no (legal) inside tracks, no shortcuts, and no consultant that has those, no matter what they charge.

Hire a consultant like you would an accountant or other professional service.  A more expensive accountant can't make your taxes any less than a competent median priced one, and a more expensive college consultant can't get your kid into a college that wouldn't admit him without one.  But if it helps your kid get the job done and polish the application to present the best version of themselves, give it a try.[/quote]
