[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are consultants who charge $30k to $50k per year right from 8th grade. They package the student nicely - interest in swimming? Not enough just to be a good swimmer and be a lifeguard. Start a non-profit to teach immigrants to swim or help cancer patients backstroke. This is how you show your passion, leadership, etc. AO's lap it up based on the references and data he showed us. A friend introduced us to one such consultant. We did not sign up, but opened our eyes to what can be done if parent is interested. [/quote] I paid $0. My kid maintained straight As in rigor, scored a high ACT, and did things he loved. Is headed to one of the 3 Ivies he was accepted to next year. Glad we didn’t waste money and glad he didn’t have to be a phony or learn to lie to fool admissions. [/quote]
