When hiring an IEC is overkill - grade your high school guidance office

Hiring an Independent Education Consultant is not always necessary.  Certainly, if a student's high school invests resources into a college planning office, our services may be overkill and add extra work for a student.  How can you tell in advance?  

• Ask for and review your high school's profile report - Colleges evaluate high schools as well as students.  Not all schools author and submit a separate profile report, but they should.  Think of the profile report as a slick marketing piece that advocates the strength of the school's curriculum and results.  If your student's high school does not create a profile report, ask the guidance counselor how they might complete your student's common application school report.
