[quote=Anonymous]Whether or not it's worth it depends on the situation. Our consultant was not much help in identifying reach/target/safeties beyond what you can figure out on your own with Naviance and sites like College Vine. They were, however, a big help in working with DC to stay organized and on task pulling together an academic resume, populating the common app, lining up LORs, and writing the main essay and supplemental essays. We started in spring and before school started this year, DC was +90% complete with apps for 16 schools. All apps were submitted in early October which was a big relief. We did the 10-hour package with ForWard Consulting. If your DC is motivated and organized and you have the time to really dig in and help them, you can skip the consultant. Our DC is motivated but is not organized and tends to procrastinate and get distracted when facing big, long term projects like this. For us, it was worth it.[/quote]
