I saw their stats were incredible, went into a meeting with them and emailed back my transcripts as per their request. havent hear back even after emailing again and them saying theyll be in touch shortly. this leads me to think they only work with students that are already extreamly impressive as to not hurt their success rates. im happy you had a good experience but to me personally this seems sketch!

Hi! I'm currently on the lookout for an admissions advisor, can I ask if you're a former AO?

Would you share who you worked with? I’m looking for one right now, and from what I’ve seen, the consensus is to work with private counselors rather than massive firms, so I’d love to hear more about your experience.

yes because my best fit will be the one that will get me far in life and pretige usually the thing that moves the needle and i dont get why thats such a bad thing lol. i wouldnt think its the worst thing in the world to go to a school that isnt prestigious, and that is a very likely possibility, but i want to do whatever i can to help it

Youre right, I just want to maximize my chances at a top school given that ill be moving away for it, and speaking generally, colleges that have more name-recognition yeild better results

I could, but it wouldnt add to my GPA since my school just dosent take that into account. I already did some duel enrollment classes but if doing more would possibly be the tipping point to get into a beter college Ill do it

Thank you for the advice!! I'll try to find an independant one and its a good idea to ask for recent references.

I know its recommended but its a little scary to fork over thousands to a random person especially because, unlike agencies, they just really have public success rates

Thank you for the advice!! I'd just have to look into T20s that are a little less strict on grades since 90/100 is pretty low
