[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Reached out to some contacts who know my work and have my first payment and contract.

I'm charging a little less than the PP above, but in range.

I think you're only thinking about half the job - the application part. A good part of the work is putting together an appropriate list for a student and that can be hard, especially if the parents (and students) have outdated or unrealistic expectations.

You need a really expensive knowledge of colleges around the country. IECs spend some time on the road visiting colleges so they can advise clients about them.

NP… while this is good, not everyone wants an IEC to make a balanced list for them. And if we’re talking demographics that you don’t share, your list can be way off! [/quote]

Op here—I have worked with a lot of kids who have a certain profile in NOVA and NYC suburbs (where I am from) and they all allow me to share their data w/others with the same profile.

The kids I work with also tend to apply to a small set of schools I’m very familiar with.

I have a lot of success with kids with a certain profile (who know that a lot of kids are similar to them on paper) and that’s who I’m targeting. [/quote]
