[quote=Anonymous]If your child is in any decent private school you should not need a private counselor: the school college counselors should be good, and should be able to help them identify colleges that are good fits, help them strategize about how to put their best foot forward on the apps, etc. If your child is a top-performing kid at a top public school, same. The ONLY situation in which a private counselor might make sense, if affordable, is if your child is at a huge public school and is middle of the pack (meaning counselors, though likely excellent, may not have as much interest/time for your kid), or if your child is at a not-so-great public school AND you yourself do not have the time or cultural knowledge to be helpful (you're an immigrant and unfamiliar with the system in the US, whatever).
