[quote=Anonymous]Have a hs senior so going through this overwhelming process this year. My advice: I would prioritize spending on: test prep and essay writing coaching. Strong test scores are helpful for both entry into top schools and for getting merit $$ from likely and target schools. Dont underestimate the volume of writing and editing to craft great essays -start summer before sr year. In terms of creating a school list, i (As a parent) did a ton of research, did online info sessions, read every college blog i found for tips. Listened to podcasts, etc. I also researched summer programs to find programs that fit my kids interests. Many families had private counselors but we did not. Parents can do the work themselves if they have time and interest - its very time consuming. My kid had great outcomes. Got in EA to several schools with merit and got into a top 10 school ED1.
