College Consulting Companies

Hi. I’ve been looking through different types of college admissions consulting services and one that has particularly interested me was Inspira Next. Dotes any know of/has participated in this program? If so is this program worth the money?(it ranges from $11,000 to $23,000)

What are they offering exactly?

It is my opinion and my experience that anything that any of these college consulting companies offer, short of SAT/ACT prep classes and tutoring, can be obtained for free right here on CC. Sure worked for us. Just read around on the threads relevant for your child, post your own specific questions, and watch out for outlier opinions (we had one poster who was consistently offering incorrect advice that was at least 40 years out of date).

thats a lot of $$. Most of what you need to know is in public info - like Common Data Sets or directly from the school’s admission dept.

It depend on your means and your kid’s interests/qualifications.

there are people for whom they can help your student find a smaller school they have never heard of.

Do you have a target school in mind?
