Who is a counselor? Do I need a counselor?

Applying to College
1

<p>Who is an admission counselor? I think so, he is the one who helps in finding and short listing colleges/universities and applying to them on behalf of me.</p>

<p>Am I right here?</p>

<ol>
<li>Now, where can I find a counselor if i am not enrolled in a test prep company?</li>
<li>Do I specifically need a counselor or just apply to colleges myself without the help of any external agency?</li>
</ol>

<p>“Do I specifically need a counselor or just apply to colleges myself without the help of any external agency?”</p>

<p>Millions of people apply and get into colleges without a private counselor. And NO they do not apply on your behalf – they offer advice and strategies but at a fee. Many eschew this service.</p>

<p>You need to go to the International students forum. You have many basic questions that need to be answered.</p>
