[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m quite overwhelmed by this process, but feel that $5-10k might be better spent in my kids college fund than for a consultant. On the other hand, we need some advice… Thoughts?[/quote] High stat kids that need to stand out against top stat kids could use a consultant if you are aiming for schools with a 10% admit rate. Otherwise, probably not needed.[/quote] Any truly competitive T20 application could use counseling help. By the time you figure out how to stress the main 3 points essential for a compelling Northwestern application, it might be too late. Best to get professional help early so you know how to accentuate the key ethos of a school. I’d advise getting help from counselors who have actually served as AO if aiming for T20.[/quote] Plenty of kids at T20s did not have private counselor help. Mine is at Northwestern without emphasizing the "3 things", whatever those might be.[/quote]
