[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we used Jordan Kanarek. There are lots of posts on this forum that bash IECs, and that’s fine — there are pros and cons. But for us at least he was worth every penny. Our DC attends a NoVa private. They don’t start college counseling there until 11th in most respects, and for a lot of reasons we decided we needed a gentle but earlier start for our DC.

So beginning in the summer of 9th and through today, we have paid around $8500. This includes everything from guidance on course selection and ECs to list building (multiple rounds and criteria analysis) to visit reviews/debriefs to essays (multiple rounds/edits) to coordinating LORs to application strategy.  It also includes counseling calls with my DC as well as calls/emails/texts with us separately as parents.  The end result was that we had a very successful application process and our DC is heading off to an excellent LAC that is really a great fit. Again, the whole Q of whether to use an IEC is very family specific, but for us it made sense. We really loved working with Jordan and cannot recommend him enough. He formed a real connection with our DC, provided hours of really smart and informed advice, and kept everything going on time. We found him by word of mouth but ironically through our own research too:
