False[/quote]
I really think it depends how much time you as the parent can spend doing research and assisting your child. We hired a expensive college counselor, local to the DC area however they seem to not know much about our child’s public school and the context in which our child sits in terms of the course selection or the activities they have been involved in and how that all fits together in relation to others at their school. They don’t usually know the school that you come from as well as the school counselor or frankly as well as you do, if you ask questions. 
I’m not sure we are getting much value out of the private college counselor to be honest, it’s a crapshoot these days and the college counselors are not going to help you get in more these days , as they might have 10 years ago.  They also seem to be less concerned with “where you can get in” as a sure thing vs where you want to go, or big picture thinking. [/quote] Have you shared these concerns with your counselor? You should.[/quote]
