[quote=Anonymous]My DD is at a DMV private and we did not hire a private college counselor, although she reports that several of her friends have them. DD is very self-organized around deadlines, so that was not an issue, and the school's college counselor provided good/tough/helpful feedback on essays. List creation was largely through family conversations and input from the college counselor. So far DD -- 3.9 UW, test optional, good but not amazing ECs and a very strong writer -- has been accepted at all of her EA and rolling admission schools, which included targets as well as safeties. She has a couple of reaches in RD that she has yet to hear from, but as of now she has excellent choices with good merit aid in some cases. I am glad we did not use a private college counselor -- we don't really have that money (tuition is enough of a stretch) and I think the final results would have been very similar.[/quote]
