[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cmon DCUMers, seriously? You all think any part of private college counselor is worth it? Do your own damn research. It’s not that hard. I thought all the parents on here were smart and went to T20 universities. [/quote] I do think they can have conversations with kids that get listened to about the school lists. I also think they can find some schools that will just never pop up. For elite schools I think they can help shape the application and do a better gap analysis than any parent could. I also think it is worth it to have the application and essays out of the parent kid dynamic. Is that worth it? It may depend on how much money you have. 10k to a biglaw partner is not 10k to two GS-14s. Is it absolutely needed -- no. Is it helpful --- yes. And yes parents did go to T20 schools -- that is why they know that their own knowledge and advice is inferior to someone who does this all day and year in and year out.[/quote]
