[quote=Anonymous]Two kids at a T10. No admissions consultant. However, have older kids and I've been reading college admissions forums for years. Had consultant essay help for oldest child years ago (attended a T30, wasn't aiming higher), saw the process, so I did it myself for my younger kids - helped with brainstorming and the review. You can probably do this yourself or have some other person help them, family friend or potentially a teacher. Tons of online resources.

We did use an independent SAT tutor, 6 to 10 meetings per kid.

If you have time to read a bit, you can find all you need to know for free. Keep in mind that all the best advice in the world can't turn an average kid into a T20 admit. They have to have the goods to start with, the course rigor, grades, scores. Where consultant advice comes in is activity descriptions and essays and, most importantly, the college list.

Know your goal, finding a school that fits your child's needs and is affordable. One of my older kids attended a T80-90 (not sure where it is these days) with merit, had a blast, and is now in grad school - said he'd do it all over again. That's a win.
