[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people take a leave of absence to help their kids with college apps? I can barely juggle work and home as it is. I don’t have time to do research, listen to podcasts, and edit essays. DH has absolutely no interest.  Where do people find the time to become their kid’s unpaid college consultant? [/quote]

I am a partner at a law firm and I am listening to podcasts on my car commute, reading here on my work breaks, and learning a lot from going to college tours and info sessions.  BUT, I did hire a college counselor for my kid, who is a rising senior.  I can't recommend my counselor as we have not seen the results yet, but so far I have been very pleased to have a sounding board as there are many, many small and big decisions to be made ([b]e.g. TO or no, how to order the activities list, whether to use the additional info section, 3rd recommendation or no, is X school a safety or a target, etc.[/b]) and it is way easier for me to tell kid to ask the college counselor if I don't know the answer.  Well worth the money in my view.[/quote]

You don't need a counselor for that. You'll see once after you go through this process.
And read here. And listen to the podcasts. And read r/A2C and r/chanceme and r/collegeresults.
All the answers are out there.
But it will help you sleep at night, so there's that.[/quote]
