[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You:

- helped kids (plural) this last cycle (2024-2025) look into under the radar schools

- Have 2 kids admitted into T20s in last 2 years

- and this last cycle (‘24-‘25) helped 3 kids get T10/Ivies

Who are all these friends coming to you for help? (You mentioned your kids (example 2) and friends and family for example 3) — so example 1 (all friends) and 3 at least partially friends). All these friends and family members (at least 5) during the last cycle are coming to you for advice on narrative development, essays, EC development, Supp brainstorming- all the way to LOCIs.

So so so weird and seems unbelievable. And your kids get T20 but you got 3 others into ivies/T10s?

You will do well bc much of college app advising is unregulated and people can say whatever.

The OP seems 100% believable to me, and the weird antagonism in this comment is what reads as weird to me. Stop griefing on people.

OP, I'm the one who posted earlier about having to redirect parents away from Stanford, etc., and had two thoughts as to how you can scratch the itch a bit more as you mull over hanging out a shingle or whatever path makes sense. First is to get involved in College Confidential, where there's more of a community of like-minded parents-who-have-been-through-it and where you can continue to talk shop. The moderation there and the "anonymous but with an account name" setup prevents bad actors from taking over threads the way they do here. Second is to think about getting involved with https://www.scholarmatch.org/, where they help FGLI kids with the application process. It won't be the same high-fliers you've worked with so far, but could have a really positive impact.[/quote]
