[quote=Anonymous]We hired one. Our child is at a private, but we heard mixed reviews about the counselors there and their level of support. We wanted to be supportive of the process, but I didn't want to be a nag or mess something up in the application.

No regrets. We paid for a two year package, and our kid went through a few evaluations and they talked through schools/fit/plans well before the end of junior year. Common App was started spring of last year and was in place before August 1. Essays were complete mid August and that made the beginning of school so much easier, especially with supplementals and honors college applications, which take up a lot of extra time and effort once school starts. The first few applications, even with the counselor, took 90 minutes each - the counselor was deliberate, showed her what to check and review (especially when it came to TO), etc. I'm pretty detail-oriented, but was thankful there was someone to walk us through it. The counselor followed up with schools and admissions offices if we had questions or additional things to consider.

Talk to friends who have kids that are older. I guarantee you'll get a few recommendations and folks people would not recommend. [/quote]
