[quote=Anonymous] I have two kids in "top 20" schools. And we did none of this. We did do test prep, however, which was worthwhile. But both kids are very self-motivated, very disciplined, and knew what they were interested in at a pretty early age. And their ECs reflect that. Did help one with some connections to get an internship, which are hard to get when you are 16. So there is that. Which led to another internship that I had nothing to do with. My other was interested in a field that could not be further removed from my world. I had absolutely nothing I could offer except weekend chauffeur. I find it unbelievable that people are spending a million for this. Absolutely take the $800,000 and invest at 18. They will likely being doing better than a MD at 40, particularly if they are self-motivated and ambitious. College advisor is a very nice scam. [/quote]
