Cricket2, fair enough that college consultants are more of an option for wealthier families.
Having acted as my own Ds' "college consultant", I can say that option of doing it ourselves is also open to all of us. With all the books (like the one Bostonian recommends above, and many others), and websites like College Confidential available, I really believe that I can support my kids through the college application process as well as any consultant. I was also older D's "SAT tutor" -- I honestly believe our one-on-one sessions with SAT prep books did her more good as a SAT prep class would have. The cost in dollars was minimal, and I think my kids and I have both enjoyed the time spent together on the college search process.
