[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say don't totally rely on Application Nation. [b]Many families in the group use her group as a point of advice. But they also use outside counselors to help boost their child's application. [/b]AN is very good at teaching the granular process of college admissions, which the 1:1 private counselor won't be able to provide. To understand the system and how arbitrary the admissions process is, AN is very good. [/quote] [b]This is what we did. Outside essay help, outside application reviews, outside help with narrative.[/b] It’s a good group to follow though for general learning, knowledge gathering and frankly generating ideas (for my younger kid). Just pay the minimal monthly fee. And read what others are posting…. [/quote] This is the type of stalker parent that this group is geared towards. So you also need to hire a consultant for essays, a consultant for reviews and a consultant for help with narrative. Not what a family would expect when hiring "America's college counselor"! [/quote] If your kid can write well, no need for the rest. But the peer pressure might get to you. [/quote]
