[quote=Anonymous]OP - I can't tell you a damned thing about those expensive consultants who get kids into ivy league schools. I can tell you about our experience. I paid a reasonable sum to have a person functioning as a competent guidance counselor because our school did not provide competence there. The consultant helped our child articulate what he wanted from college, and helped us tell engineering schools apart (it is actually more complicated than I would have thought and rank between 10 and 50 really doesn't matter). My kid was able to make judgments about where to apply and then where to go that was based on real characteristics about the educational environment, and not whether or not there was a beautiful gym, a chick-fil-A on campus, or any other stupid things. My son wrote his own essay. They did talk about it, and he got some feedback, but all good writers get feedback. [/quote]
