Agree with @Hanna (and I’m also in the business). But beyond that, and Hanna can attest to this, younger clients/students meet with me/a private consultant to discuss course choices for each semester/year, questions about dropping/changing schedules or educational environments, to discuss summer plans and programs, to edit essays for summer programs, to help with certain documents (activities resume, homeschool parent documents and transcripts, etc.), research (for various activities or academics) and so forth.
Yes, people can come to College Confidential, but not everyone has time or inclination to do so. And frankly, some people are private and don’t want to ask questions on a public forum. Thy would prefer building a one on one relationship with a consultant during the high school years.
