[quote=Anonymous]If you're satisfied with the current BASIS college counselor, great, lucky for you.  We're not, although we adored her as a chem teacher and admire her smarts and commitment to helping kids.

As things stand, we plan to hire an independent counselor to assist our BASIS student (a sophomore) in preparing her applications. We know other BASIS parents who plan to do the same. College counseling speakers in the last 18 months have impressed us, one in particular, so we're making arrangements to hire her.  We plan to pay at least 1K for admissions support, maybe as much as 2K.

Our student has her heart set on a school admitting in the single digits, along with the academics, extra-curriculars and drive if she keeps going the way she's going, so we don't want to mess around. We don't need college fairs - we know the schools we're aiming for and what they have to offer (reference FISKE Guide "Academics 5 Pens"). One school is mom's alma mater.

But, hey, who's complaining, the arrangement is vastly cheaper than years of tuition at Sidwell or NCS.
