[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not as "excellent" as hiring your own captive college counsellor. You get more time and focus with a personal college counselor you hire by the hour.

We go to a so-called "top 3" private school in a large, competitive city that is not in DC. We have a small team of CC, and 1 college counsellor dedicated per 30-40 students. So eac sub-counsellor is shared among 35-ish kids.

It's fine. But my brother has hired his own personal CC (my nephew goes to a competitive public HS) and I think he gets a lot more attention.

While I do realize our CC at our private does have strong knowledge and some insight or connections to a few selective colleges in particular, I don't think her services is what I value most in my tuition payment. I feel I pay for the small class size and varied curriculum. The slightly better ratio of CC to student is a plus, but I don't think these CCs even at a private school can perform miracles unless you are a top donor or development person. [/quote]

FYI your private “captive” counselor has a lot more than 35 other clients [/quote]
