[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this question has probably been asked many times before, but I wanted to reach out specifically to parents whose kids were admitted to a top 25 schools, either in the most recent admissions cycle or in the past few years.

Which college consultant (if any) did you use, and how was your experience?

Please, no snark , just hoping for genuine, firsthand recommendations or feedback from those who have real information to share.

Thanks in advance!

Two different top10s
No hooks
No admission consultant, just the private school counseling dean at non-feeder but top regional school with about 3% that get in unhooked to T10 and another 3-5% who get in with hooks.
Top rigor is the most important, in all areas, in the context of what the school offers 
Top recs(we learned after the fact): at least one for each mentioned most impressive student in X many years.
They are top kids who were always 99%-99.9%ile on tests from the WPSI they took to get into the private.
ECs were above average but not extraordinary with state/regional individual honors
