The information is out there and readily available. It is a matter of time. If you don't have the time and have the money, then like anything else (lawn care, house cleaning, food shopping...) it would be worth it.

Now that applications are in ... was it worth it to use a college counselor? If so, who did you use & were they worth the money?

Anyone have a recommendation for someone who provides this service? I'm in FFX Co

Start a new thread and I'll give you some recommendations.

I know, right? I just clicked on it because it was so vague and I was curious.

Yes, I'm very glad we used someone. We had a one-time consult for $500 just to generate a list. We were all pretty much at sea before then. My college-bound kid doesn't fit neatly into a profile and the school college counselor really wasn't of any help.

Consultant assessed the fit of the schools he was looking into and provided a list of 15-20 based on his interests and stats for us all to research.

Now that college application are submitted, anyone happy that they used a college advisor to give guidance? Was it worth the money?
