[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD had a private CC. It was only an ok experience. I feel he pushed my DD to apply ED to a school she had a good chance of getting into RD, that wasn't her top choice but was lower down in her top 5-6.

I think he just wanted to close out as many "wins" as possible rather than work for the best possible outcome for her as a person.

Private CCs don't just work for your DC. They aren't exclusively on call for your family. A good CC is often juggling 20+ different families during any one season to make ends meet.

The VIP families that are paying 3X or 5X their already very high fee is probably getting most of their attention.[/quote]

It's very easy to push back to private counselor.  Just say no, there is no consequence unlike to a school counselor.  
Why you agree to it?

No one expect a private counselor work exclusively for you.  That would be really expensive and unnecessary.  The key part is still the kid.

How is VIP families paying 3x or 5x?  Did they book more time?  You could do that if you want, but you opt out because you think it's not necessary.  [/quote]
