Independent College Counselors

The front page of Sunday's New York Times featured a story about the use of independent college counselors. It is a trend that started on the coasts and has expanded across the nation and I have even heard that it is here in central Ohio. The concept of using an independent college counselor is a hotly debated topic which was evident by the follow up story that the New York Times ran on their Choice Blog. I would caution you to be careful to avoid paying someone for the work that can be done for you free of charge at school!
