Nowadays, getting into college has become more competitive and cutthroat. Parents are hiring admission consultants in order to improve their child’s chances of being admitted into his/her first choice. The problem, however, is that there are many people who claim to be a legitimate and trustworthy consultant. As a parent, be wary of admission consultants that state they have “influence” at a certain university. Also, the consultant should have firsthand knowledge of various college campuses due to his/her own personal visits to the campus. In addition, the consultant should have formal training and be part of IECA or NACAC. Furthermore, college consultants should not guarantee that your son/daughter will definitely be accepted into their first choice. Consultants are there to find the most suitable university for your child and assist in the admission process. Their job is to showcase different opportunities available at various campuses. Moreover, they lay down the groundwork for applying—it’s ultimately up to the student to complete the admission process. Yes, we all want our children to be admitted into a university but at what cost?
