College Bound Consulting

We had such a good experience at College Bound Consulting and I would highly recommend them. My daughter and I met with Loretta about a year ago and she guided my daughter through the application process, looked over her essay, researched colleges that she thought would be a good fit, advised us on various questions that came up, and more or less cheered my daughter on through the whole year. Loretta knew her stuff and we were so lucky to have found her. My daughter is headed to a great school next year. College Bound Consulting helped show her how to get there!

We have used Anita for our oldest daughter and we have loved working with her. She was insightful and definately bridged the gap between my daughter and I and the college world.
Would rec to all.

So, I just happened to notice a sign at lunch one day for College Bound Consulting and I decided to pop in and find out more about their services. My initial introduction with the owner was pleasant. She gave me her card and said she was prepping for a meeting but I could visit the website and contact them later.
After visiting their website I went straight to the Parent Testimonials they were all good.
So, I requested her fee rates and decided to make an appt. The fee for the initial consult is $ 150.00. Which I was willing to pay because I know the college admission process has changed a lot since 1991 when I was undergrad.
After a conversation with my husband I found out my daughter was a little nervous about college and felt she was growing up to fast. Yeah I know she’s different. I asked the owner if we could do a little role play. I requested that the counselor assigned to us met my daughter and I for a casual lunch and just randomly come up to us and pitch their company.
The owner told me the college process has to be an open and honest dialogue.
What does that tell me? You want my 150.00usd and hour but you aren’t willing to work for it. Let’s have a little creativity. My husband and I may not be pseudo-​ivy leaguers but we have three degrees between us have lived and worked overseas and have traveled all over the world.
I say that because maybe I didn’t fit the bill of her Hinsdale clientele. But trust me my money is green.
