[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For reference, I am a counselor and charge $5500 and generally don't take kids until end of sophomore year. I don't give guidance on ECs, but help families do everything, including build lists, plan college trips, application strategy and completion, personal statement and supplements, LOCIs, emails to reps, etc. I also have a slightly less expensive package for just essays/application. Some of the big companies have reached out in the past year or two and they charge so much more but often their counselors take home less than I do.[/quote]

$5500 per year or total for junior and senior year?
How many apps and essays? Are you doing heavy edit/feedback with the kids?
Can you post a link?[/quote]

Yes, $5500 for junior and senior year and it includes all essays, except if you apply to the UC schools (that is an extra fee since they do not use the common app and the PIQs are very specific). I was trained by College Essay Guy and use some of his brainstorming and outlining strategies with students and ultimately teach many of them a lot of grammar and story structure. I have a background in print journalism so can spot interesting details quickly and help kids use those to tell their story. The amount of feedback/editing really depends on the writer and their voice. I don't want to advertise on here but if you post your email, I will send you my site. [/quote]
