<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>I am a German journalist working on a story about the college admission process in the US. Is there anybody out there who uses/used a private coaching service for the college application? What are your experiences, does it/did it help your application? Would you recommend it? I am particularly interested in coaching services for Ivy League applicants. </p>

<p>Please post a short reply here or send me a private message , I would like to do the actual interview over the phone. In case you don’t want to be mentioned with your name in the story that’s fine. We can discuss those kind of details later. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help! </p>

<p>Tobias</p>

<p>thats cool, unfortunately I am not rich enough to afford a private college counselor (<a href="http://www.ivywise.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.ivywise.com&lt;/a&gt;) and even so, I would much rather save my $25,000 and go to a non-ivy than waste it on just getting in.</p>

<p>college loans are kinda expensive....so I hear :P</p>

<p>If you search the UChicago forum, a while back (between October 1 and November 1) one kid admitted to having a private college counselor who is helping him select schools and write essays.</p>
