[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband wants to engage a college consultant specifically for college specific essay and application review for my daughter. We are already have engaged a consultant full time, but DH really wants this guy to look over her common app essay and supplementals for this specific top college, which is my daughter's dream school.

I agreed to meet with him this week, but after looking at his LinkedIn, it appears [b]he was indeed admissions counselor at this particular college -- in 2014 for only one year!![/b]  I don't think this in any way qualifies him to be an expert for this school considering he has so little experience. Most recently he worked as a HS college counselor at a couple of private prep schools on the west coast before he started his company a few years ago.

I am hesitant to write checks for this person's guidance considering his lack of recent knowledge/experience at said college, especially considering that we are getting guidance already from a very good consultant.

Just venting here as I am going to have to confront DH with my concerns later today.

I think I know who you're referencing and it was 9 months in 2012.

He has a huge following on social media and his message has change a little over time, but it's still really weird that he references his first job like it's relevant at this point. [/quote]
