Hello - has anyone here worked with a private college counselor for their kids? If yes, what was your experience, and did you feel it was really worth it? Some of the fees I am seeing are quite high.

Sounds like the newest scam. My sister and I just used the counselors they provided to us at our high school and did the ACT prep there.

I went to a big, fairly good school. She went to an elite school and is now studying to be a doctor.

I think your child can maneuver without a private college counselor (unless they have a lousy school counselor). Hopefully, they will advocate for themselves. Perhaps suggest regular meetings with their school counselor.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:
