We visited a friend this summer in SoCal, and she was shocked that we did not hire a college counselor. She said that everyone in her neighborhood with high school kids had one. DS already has a school assigned college counselor at his private school, but he does oversee a lot of kids (80-90). DS has been good about seeing his counselor on a regular basis.
Should we be concerned? He has already taken his SATs (old). He will take the new SAT this October. My only concern is that he has a large list of schools that he wants to apply to (he's worried he won't get admitted anywhere despite his good grades), and I don't think he realizes how much time he will spend writing essays and filling out applications. He has already started writing his essays...well at least one. At what point would you shell out $$ for a counselor?
