Hired CC during DC's sophomore year - and where they were most helpful was in advising about course load, ECs and creating DC's narrative over the course of sophomore-senior years (including summers). One area in particular which set DC a part from classmates was the international independent research study/paper DC's undertook which resulted in their being published in a prestigious international scholarly journal. DC would have never known the current trend of colleges valuing these research papers nor how to navigate which research study programs to apply to w/o college counselor.

PP Here. To give context - DC accepted EA at top 25 school, accepted significant merit w/merit money at several good schools, and deferred at three other top 25 schools - still waiting to hear outcome on those. Very happy with results. DC DEFINITELY has had better admissions results than classmates with similar GPAs. I credit DC's strong ECs (president of several clubs related to DC's interest in business/finance and said published research paper which was written under the mentorship of a renowned Cambridge economics professor) as well as DC's strong SATs score.
