Can you give some recommendations? Thanks!
Why do you think you would like to use a professional consultant? What specific goals do you have? If we know that, people who have used consultants can make specific referrals.
Meanwhile, please know that there is a lot of useful information here that you can access for free. You might not require professional help.
DD is interested in top Ivys and BS/MD programs. Got wonderful scores and great in writing, but she has been uncertain about what to apply and procrastinating… Hoping to find someone who is an expert at coaching high achievers for top schools such as Harvard or Stanford or top BS/MD programs.
The best college advisor is one who knows your high school well and what students in previous years have been able to achieve. Asking random people on the internet has a high risk of getting an answer from someone who is just trying to sell you their own services. If you have any friends in the PTA or your neighborhood with older students who had good outcomes, try asking them.
