[quote=Anonymous]I asked about her services for last year and received a fee sheet. the rates quoted were $4500 for the day school package and about $2500 for a one time day school consult where she talks to you about different options and looks at your application materials. she had an hourly rate of about $300 or so too. We didn't use her, but those who say it's ridiculous to use her for the "short" applications are disingenuous, or didn't apply to the same schools we did. For the big 3 etc you have to write a bunch of essays, like what one word describes your child, get interviewed yourself, and have your kid do a virtual interview. and get a recommendation. My husband, who went to an ivy, found the process equally if not more challenging than his college application process. I think that if anything this year was worse than others because without the virtual play date or standardized testing, everything is riding on those essays and two 30 minute interviews. [/quote]
