[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a longtime poster here. Have 2 kids in college - both T20. I learned a LOT here and didn’t hire a counselor for them and they had very successful cycles (in last 2 years).

I really enjoy reading about this field, listening to a ton of podcasts etc. And, this past cycle I helped 3 (friends & family) get into T10/Ivies. Helped with narrative development, essays, EC development, Supp brainstorming- all the way to LOCIs.

Have undergrad and professional degrees from T10; semi-retired from a professional career.

Does anyone know how I would get into real private counseling? Should I go back to school for this (which seems kind of pointless)? Should I just get IEC certified? Hang up a shingle? What is the best way -besides word of mouth?

WTH?

If I'm going to spend my money on a college counselor consultant, she had better have done better with her own kids than just two T20s.  Like what? Vanderbilt or WashU?  No, i want you as my consultant if everyone knows your kids are wheeny losers, but are now at Princeton.  Or your kid was the class stoner and clown, but is now at Stanford.  But if your kid is at Cornell or ED'd full pay to Chicago, those are flashing red lights. We all could end up having to make the best of that kind of result, but that isn't the kind of thing anyone longs for.  Keep your day job [/quote]
