[quote=Anonymous]OK, I'll name names. We used Kelly Fraser at Green Apple. We thought it was worth it. I don't have experience with the others at her company so can't comment. The essay help was critical. With her and the essay counselor's guidance, our DS, who was kind of middle of the road at a Big 3, was able to think hard about the Common app essays and the supplementals write some really strong essays that highlighted some of his interesting and unusual EC's. The coached him to think about it in ways he wouldn't have and had insights we did not. He was miraculously accepted everywhere (except one safety). For his younger sibling - they probably would have been ok without a college counselor, but it was enormously helpful in deciding strategy for ED/EA. It's pricey, but the CO at our school is not great (yes, I know, what are we paying for at private but that is neither here nor there).[/quote]
