[quote=Anonymous]We hired someone the second semester of 9th grade. She helped with class selection, ECs, essays for competitive summer programs, college list, essays for college apps and recommendations. She was absolutely invaluable, particularly on the essays and the college list. My son was accepted to every competitive summer program he applied to and to his ED1 super reach school. As an alumni interviewer for a very competitive university, I knew enough going into this process to know that we needed help. The cost of college is so high, why skimp on a skilled consultant? Some may be able to do it themselves but the essays are really tricky, particularly the "why us" variety. And, tailoring ECs to develop the sought-after spike is not so simple. We did interview six different consultants that all came recommended. The costs varied widely, but in the end, we let DS pick the person with whom he felt most comfortable.[/quote]
