[quote=Anonymous]We used one on an hourly basis, as needed senior year from summer through application season. She did standardized test tutoring (effective), helped DS build a college list (I don't think she was particularly strong here), and (this was the winner) guided DS's essay efforts from topic selection through final draft. She did not write it, but she did hold his feet to the fire and make him accountable for effort and deadlines in a way we could not. I also listened to a lot of podcasts, lurked on some college app sites, and did a lot of supplemental reading. I treated it like pregnancy/newborn life, reading just enough ahead that I was prepared for the next stage and knew the important questions/pitfalls.[/quote]
