[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op, I get why you are looking for someone. We hired a well known essay coach for $18k — the worst money we spent as far as getting the kid into a tippy-top school. But essays were done before deadlines.

Questions to ask consultant - have they helped a kid get into the colleges you kid is aiming for? What do they do if your kid is rejected from ED/REA schools? Ask for an example of essay feedback so you know whether or not it meets your needs. Some coaches preserve the kid’s voice (good) whereas other rewrite so much, it sounds like the adult is applying to college. [/quote]

That is a crazy amount of money and can make clients feel their kid iss entitled to acceptances. Both of these are wrong.

OP, ask friends and neighbors. The most satisfied people I know are the ones who spent 4-5K and hired independent counselors, not people in the big companies. The biggest pluses I have seen is helping a kid stay on track and lower the stress plus strong feedback on essays.[/quote]
