[quote=Anonymous]Just want to chime in and suggest that those hiring outside consultants should understand who their individual contact will be. I have friends who hired big name/expensive consultants but their kid was assigned to a pretty junior person (who may leave during the process). Those families were often disappointed in their outcomes. Furthermore, some parents think they can outsource and walk away. Those families are also sometimes disappointed. You should know what the counselor provides/doesn't provide. Stay engaged, ask questions to make sure your kids school list, major and essay topics make sense and fit. Check out your hs school placement data to make sure private counselor recommendations are rational. We managed the process ourselves and did our own research. Yes, it took a lot of time but we felt in control of the process (not the putcome) and made decisions that seemed best for our kid. Thankfully our kid was accepted ED, but we had a great list and felt confident in a multitude of possible outcomes. [/quote]
