Prep school admission consult recommendations?

We used a highly recommended consultant for kiddo 1 but will not use him/one for kiddo 2. I do think they can be helpful for families that aren’t familiar with boarding schools and the application process, but ours didn’t seem to offer much more than what we already knew. Kiddo didn’t need any help with essay ideas or editing and while she did a little interview prep work with him, she would have done fine without it. We don’t think that her admissions results were any better using him than they would have been without him. Kiddo 2 would benefit from essay brainstorming and interview practice, but we’ll just do that with him on our own.
