I could not disagree more. Here’s an example. My best friend was borderline for the ivy she really wanted. She went to a high end counselor even though we had a great one at school because she could afford it and wanted every bit of help possible. The thing the counselor did that probably helped most was convince her to use the offbeat essay for her short essay as her main essay. This counselor had been an adcom at her ivy and simply told her they would love reading on the subject after all of the tedious self-serious essays they go through in a day.

Well she got in and recently was contacted by the admissions office to ask if they could give her essay to a member of the press as an example of their best essays this year. She would never have thought to use that as her essay.

If you can afford it, a professional set of eyes can change your results.
