[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never.  I just don’t think it matters that much.  Sure it’s great to say you got into an Ivy.  But at the end of the day, there just isn’t that much advantage that makes it worth shelling out thousands for a private consultant, private counselor, essay tutor, etc.  You kid would benefit more from you saving that money and giving it them for [b]a first house down payment[/b]. Plenty of students move on to med school, law school, and great high paying (and very high paying) jobs from every type of university.  Plenty of Ivy grads working normal upper middle class jobs for a normal upper middle class salary. [/quote]
Those who hire consultant likely have not only the down payment for their kids, but several significant real estate in major cities in their trust.  Perspective can be very different.  [/quote]

That wasn’t the point.  The point is one is meaningful and one isn’t.  Buying your kid a house is something that propels them forward in life.  A college consultant and an Ivy admission isn’t going to help them be any more successful in life. Just because you have money to burn on a consultant doesn’t mean you should. [/quote]

Huh? Why not—consultants can save you time and effort, and time is really valuable. People have money to spend, why not.[/quote]
