Honestly, I don't think you will be getting any useful "guidance" from these counseling service if you are on a 40k budget. Whatever advices you got from them will be generic. Just self-study the application process.
Command Education is charging 750K to get kids into Harvard.
I am sure whatever they put on their website is not going to worth much.

Is that guaranteed? A few years ago when we spoke to him, he had an idea for expanding one of DCs activities across several states. He thought Dc could get into Yale. We did not go with them and did nothing with that EC except continue it — DC is at Harvard!
