[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Who were the “others,”[/b] btw?[/quote] Consultant and parent (me). I honestly think that the consultant gave a little too much help, but I wasn't going to tell DC to disregard. The final essay did really reveal the essence of who my DC is; it was just written better than DC would have written on their own. Like someone said, though, admissions consultants are supposed to be experts at knowing a teen's true voice. Yes, I can live with myself and my decisions. As long as other families are able to hire college consultants, there is no reason why my DC couldn't have one. I would have preferred to have DC in a high school with a strong English program, but that would have been much more expensive than hiring a college consultant for 6 hours (this covered a family meeting to review and refine the college list as well as editorial comments for the main essay and some, but not all supplementals).[/quote]
