[quote=Anonymous]we used them for DD who is at ivy. she did well with multiple T20 admissions (although many rejections too) and in at almost all targets, safeties. i was really disappointed in their recommended list as they lowball you (i think this is the company, not individual counselor), but DD and i liked our counselor who agreed she should aim high. counselor was helpful with brainstorming majors, highlighting some EC, and keeping DD on track. she also was quite responsive with my multiple nuanced questions during the process as a former wash u ad com member. i also did a lot of my own research and helped with essay edits (they did very little).

overall, it wasn't worth the 15k for 3 apps (maybe 5k?) and not sure it really made a difference other than helping us feel less clueless and anxious, but we had the $$ to spend and as our first time through, it was helpful to have an objective voice giving feedback and for DD to discuss her application with someone other than parents. we won't use for DD2 now that we have experience. it's critical to look at naviance data and the context of child's high school. DD went to strong MA public hs that sends disproportionate numbers to BU, NE so when solomon recommended ED to BU, i was not happy with that strategy. [/quote]
