[quote=Anonymous]No it's not a must.

however, if you can afford it, it can be very helpful.  I'm talking about a College consultant who is $4-5K for ALL 4 years of HS.  The perks are they help with keeping your kid on schedule, so you don't have to nag, nag nag.  They also help create a better list of colleges than you can.  I'm good at that, but our CC helped find our kid's top Safety and I most likely never would have found it.  It was so good that my kid kept that safety in their final top 3 until mid April (and visited again in April).  This is their job, they will help you find gems that are not always discussed.  With great targets and safeties, you will be happier if your kids doesn't get into their Reaches.

Then they assist with developing essays.  ours did NOT do the work for our kid, but helped them brainstorm and with editing.  They make sure you dont' do a topic that is not good---they help your kid's true colors shine thru and make them unique.

IMO if you look at it, it's $1K per year of HS.  If you are paying $60K+ for college per year, it's worthwhile.
