[quote=Anonymous]Ours was worth it only in the sense that there were clear deadlines for application work and there was regular nagging. My kiddo was practically done with the process by Early October and had her main essay and most of the application done by September. Everywhere that Early Action was possible, we applied early action, something the counselor recommended that I would t have thought of. On the negative side, they didn’t add anything useful to our college list, though they helped us eliminate one school. They low-balled her chances of admission to several places, saying these places were a reach. With the supplental essays, they really weren’t helpful. We rewrote them. We had visited the schools, some more than once, and knew what they were looking for. The essay helpers really didn’t have a clue about the schools. [/quote]
