[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Spent ~$15K on a counselor.  We almost never talk to the counselor.  I think we have talked twice in the past 8 months, and email is only between the counselor and our DS.  Our DS talks regularly, and they email and text between calls.  DS just updates me after each of his calls, and we chat about general strategy, workload, etc.

He's applying to over 15 schools and has completed everything except the supplemental essays for two or three schools.

It's been invaluable.  The counselor helped us set expectations very early on several things, including which schools really were targets vs reaches.  DS is at a public HS, so we are getting the kind of advice from the counselor that kids at private schools likely get directly from their school.  Public school counselors have a lot more to worry about than getting your kid into a T20, so if you can afford it, outsourcing makes sense. [/quote][/b]

+1.  Same experience, but we spent only $4K on a by-the-hour counselor.  It reduced stress greatly in our home[/quote]
