[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did it work out for your kid so far, to date, in ED, or REA/EA? What schools/results? If non-DMV, can you list state? If rejected or deferred, has your counselors advice, been helpful, comprehensive and specific as your kid enters the RD process? What types of suggestions have they made and what types of schools did they add to your kid’s list? If you have to do it all over again, would you hire that firm or company?[/quote] Not a college counselor but someone to help with reading essays and giving feedback. Tried 2-one very expensive one ($300 per hour) and another a Yale grad in English ($50 per hour). The Yale grad was so much better. The expensive one kept (suspiciously) nitpicking. Would pick on technical minutia. The Yale grad read holistically and for flow and emotion. Spent close to $1200 on expensive one and then let DC work only with the Yale grad. DC in at first choice ED> [/quote]
