[quote=Anonymous]We send our kids to a large urban high school and hired a consultant for both kids. Really, the school was not able to provide much support at all which is what we expected. The consultant was very helpful in (a) helping our child identify and research a school list, (b) develop essays, (c) keep on a schedule for getting everything done and (d) provided current knowledgeable perspective on what certain schools are looking fo (and proving that our knowledge from applying back i the 1990s is pretty out of date). We made sure that our student was part of the consultant selection process and the consultant both times did prove to be a key tool in allowing our student to be in charge of the process instead of it being parent led. yes, you can do it without a consultant but it was within our budget and we have been happy with the outcomes.

I agree with all of this.  But will add.  In D.C. so state school not an option.  DC not sure what major will be.  And, you have to find the right person who really knows the schools, the current environment and is on the same page as DC and parents - whether that is fit, cost, location, etc.[/quote]
