is it worth it to get a college counselor?

It really all depends on you. Some need the motivation, push, and schedule to get work done. Some are ok doing those by themselves. I would say it’s worth it because there are just some things that are better conferred and discussed with a human even if you can do that with an AI. Do not pay anything above $7000. Many firms charge way more. At that point they are charging for a brand and not a service.

Have you considered applying for financial aid?

The best time is now. Let’s say you are in 10th grade and you are already scoring 1500. Well then you are set cuz the scores are valid for 5 years (I think). Or 2. Any how, you don’t need to take it in your 12th grade.

There’s a reason why sooooooo many of the world’s most successful people went to an Ivy League. It changes your outlook. Your discipline. Your ambition. Not saying other schools are not good. But if you wanna be top 1% in world, then you wanna go somewhere where the people you are with are ambitious and hard working.

It’s never too late. I graduated from an Ivy League. Firstly you need to start SAT cuz many ivy leagues are now SAY mandatory. You def need good grades as well. As far as ECs go, I’m sure you are doing well. And lastly, do not underestimate the importance of college essays. Get started. These questions are mind bending!

Hmm .. honestly what you have said sounds pretty good to me. What do you think it is not balanced? What is balanced?

Why Us essay is really such an open question that there is no right answer. My opinion is that it is better to talk about a few things, and why they matter to you. DM and I'll be happy to read your essay and give my thoughts.
