Marks Education services, run by Nancy Marks, former NCS college counselor, is supposed to be good, but she charges some ungodly amount of money, like 10,000 for a "package"

That said, we know that his chances of getting into am IVY are slim. Are there recommendations out there for a college admissions counselor who can assist him and make sure his application/essays are strong and he shows himself in the best light?

My husband and I went to great state colleges, but were definitely not in the league he is in. We want to help him achieve the goals he has worked so hard for.

Thanks




OP, how good are the SAT scores? Above 2200+?
