[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think PP’s point about the really expensive counselors is interesting and I guess if you have money to burn and are hellbent on HYPS it may seem worth it to you.  But how do those people feel if their kid decides somewhere along the way that they don’t want to go to those schools? Kids change a lot between 9th and 12th grade. Or if, despite all that money, they still don’t get in? Do those parents consider it a waste? Or do they just pressure their kids to go Ivy even if they don’t want to?[/quote]

The OP's thread is about expensive private college counselors.  Yes, there are plenty of very wealthy people where $50,000+ is nothing to them.  Their attitude is why would I pay $25,000 to someone where I the parent still have to be involved.  I want a "full-service" counselor and I can outsource literally everything to this counselor.

The counselor knows all the curricula at Horace Mann, Dalton, Trinity, etc. and will curate their schedule.  The counselor has hooks at leading NPOs, hedge funds, IBanks, etc. for internships and volunteer opportunities.  The counselor will incorporate a business or NPO on the kid's behalf.  The counselor will generously edit all the kid's essays.  The counselor will be at your beck-and-call 24/7.  The overall firm will have former Head AO's from Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc., as well as the worker bees all recently graduating from top schools.

I mean, if I work for a hedge fund and make $20MM+ a year...either, I am so wealthy that I don't care at all where my kid goes...or I pay up to outsource the entire effort.[/quote]
