[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not use College Bound (Potomac, MD).   Overcharge.  Terrible.  Destructive really. [/quote]

Typically, everyone I know who has been happy has picked an individual college counselor---make sure they have at least 10-15+ years experience.  Meet with them to ensure they fit with your goals/personalities/etc.  Get references and check them out (our references were already friends, so we knew we were good)[/quote

While experience and credentials and recommendations are helpful they don’t guarantee good service.

We hired a highly experienced consultant that was recommended by a friend.  They clearly were resting on old information and had no idea what was going on in post/pandemic college admissions nor did they know much about or even respect DC’s choice of majors.

The result was a consultant who tried to mold DC to fit what the consultant thought would get DC into a college the consultant could brag about. They tried to change DC’s choice of major and essays to accomplish that.  Very expensive and complete disaster.

Like colleges, with consultants it’s all about fit. [/quote]
