[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try joining the Facebook group Application Nation by Sara Harberson. There is a monthly fee — around $100 I think. She tackles how to approach everything. There are also paid add-ons which we did not take advantage of (essay editing, activities re-write, LOCI, etc.) but she’s good. Our kid is at Harvard. I think she would have just started her new group in January. BTW, she used to work admissions at Penn.[/quote]

I am interested in her. How does the monthly fee thing work? Does it cover any one on one support?[/quote]

If you join early enough, you get 1:1 review of HS courses selected for SR year (she has specific beliefs regarding expected rigor/coursework), review of college list, review of main essay topics. Paid add ons are a 1:1 interview prep zoom call and essay editing. She edits 1 common app activity description as an example so you know how to personally coach your child through the rest. She also reviews the order they list them in and the honors section. People in the group post their edits and you can learn from them. Honestly, the group is simply amazing and such a source of support. Lots of knowledgable parents asking relevant questions and you can see her answers and apply them to your child/situation. She also answers questions you post on the group board. If total privacy is your thing, it's not the right fit. If you don't mind doing this process with likeminded others, it's great handholding with expert guidance. She was exactly what my child, family and budget needed. After having been in the group, I can not imagine going through the process on our own. [/quote]
