[quote=Anonymous]We got one and I'm glad we did. However, you know your kid and really need to work in tandem with what counselor is telling you. For instance, our DC toured and liked a SLAC and mentioned that - next thing we knew, counselor presented a list of SLACs they thought DC should apply to. Liking and wanting to go there were different things. However, counselor was extremely helpful in how to list ECs on common app, answered questions we had about what activities mattered, which DC could omit, and keeping DC on a schedule for applications and essays that preserved our relationship with DC. DC ended up in a T25 flagship in state and is thrilled - a school that was not on counselor's list for them. Nice to have the expertise of what admissions officers are looking for, but ultimately you know your kid the best. And, based on my DC's very successful admissions process - I think it was worth it. Paid about $7000.[/quote]
