[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hired a counselor recommended by a family member for our rather difficult, very stubborn, non-self motivated kid. With us it was a continuing battle. We hired a counselor who was the right demographic for her to look up to and listen to and it was SUPREMELY effective. We essentially outsourced the messaging. Like McKinsey for college apps.

She listened and motivated. Was too late for ED1 to submit scores but worked her ass off for a month tutored by the counselor and raised the score enough to submit for ED2 and got in. I do think that made the difference, FWIW. She was thrilled and super proud of herself, learned what she could do when she dedicated herself and worked hard, and we are very happy with the whole experience. It was not cheap, but it was VERY hands on for three hours a night for SAT tutoring and exploring essay narratives, crafting a unique story, etc. Very expensive, but worth it for us.  [/quote]

Glad your kid stepped up.  Congrats![/quote]
