Why parents hire education consulting firms
Competition between college applicants was at an all-time high in 2018, according to this CNBC article, and it’s shown no sign of stopping today. With so many students vying for a limited number of admissions, particularly to the top colleges in the nation, private counselors have become an increasingly popular option for additional assistance.
A common trait among many of the most successful of these firms is an existing connection to the top colleges students are targeting. Specifically, this means students who have gained admission to these colleges, or former staff at these colleges who are intimately familiar with how the admissions process works and what truly sets an applicant apart from the rest. Educational Attainment Services falls into the latter category, with founder Mark Lewis having served in admissions at the University of California at Berkeley and at Harvard University.
The benefits of education consulting firms
The obvious benefits of getting direct help from an admitted student or a former admissions staff member are a much greater understanding of what moves the needle on an application and any factors that can unexpectedly hurt your application. Having the guidance to craft an application that can stand out and indicate that the student can contribute to a more well-rounded student body at their targeted college is, in itself, an incredibly significant benefit that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Generally speaking, retaining the services of a private counselor to help with college admissions can be an expensive prospect, costing anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars. It can, however, make a significant difference in whether a student gains admission to a college that can make highly-valuable career opportunities much easier to find and take advantage of. In that sense, it can be seen as an investment in the student’s future career.
It’s also important to keep in mind that students’ existing counselors assigned to them by their high school may be stretched too thin to help them in as effective of a way as a private counselor. School counselors are dealing with a much higher volume of students and often find it much more challenging to give a significant amount of time to each individual student.
