<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>
