[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s where I disagree with a few previous posters. A lot of parents have unrealistic expectations. They are surprised by outcomes when they shouldn’t be.

No one lays it out there and tells them that their top stats kid is a dime a dozen because their major choice sucks and they should’ve made other decisions 18 months ago. Or no one says that your top stats kid is indistinguishable and hasn’t really done anything exceptional and really should be aiming for T35-75 or so instead of T10.

If you can afford to, do what you love. Volunteer or if you can, get a paid gig! Either way, do it if you really, really love this. I suspect - like most of us- you would be annoyed with the parents.[/quote]

If you think your bread and butter will come from an influx of people who are willing to pay to have you say lower your expectations, and that’s your business model, GL. [/quote]

I think the premise of this thread is ridiculous. "I have two kids who got into great schools PLUS I read DC Urban Mom and listen to a bunch of podcasts, So I can help you!" 
OP: You have anecdotal information from a few from one or two admissions cycles. The idea that you are now a pro is delusional.[/quote]

With AI, who is even paying for college counseling in a few years? Right? Look at the post with the various AI essay tools (one of them blew me away).

I'd get some real work experience as a reader or working for a large college consulting firm first. Don't pay for degrees or anything bc they might be obsolete with AI.[/quote]
