[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is TopTier Consulting? [/quote]

I think it's year-of-entry dependent but expect it to be close to $100K for 4 years.  I don't know how much they charge just for the last two years, but I also don't think it's useful to go to counseling firms like this if you intend to only use them for the last 18 months.  They provide the best outcome when you start early.  [/quote]

100k for 4 years? That is like college tuition[/quote]

Yes, it is. However, if you're trying to give your kids more time to focus on their high school coursework, it's a worthwhile strategy. Otherwise, someone has to take on that role, and the research involved in doing so is quite extensive. It also depends on which schools your child is applying to, their intended major, and the projected acceptance rates of those schools four years from now. There's a lot to consider. Some of these larger firms have the data to support real-time decision-making. It all depends on the counselor you're assigned to and how well they understand the process. I think for families that can afford it, it's a bit of stress relief for both the parents and the child. We really liked Solomon. Sometimes we didn't agree with their decisions, but overall, the help they provided our family was worthwhile. As a family involved in dual medicine (surgery), my husband and I simply didn't have the time to assist, and we wanted our kids to focus on their classes and discover what they wanted to achieve in high school. Our view of Solomon’s services was that they provided an academic coach for them, mainly because we couldn't do it ourselves and just didn't have the time to figure it out.  [/quote]
