If your student doesn’t have an outstanding SAT or GPA, there can still be instances where working with an admissions consultant can provide tremendous value. Ultimately, the definition of a great SAT or GPA will depend on the school itself. Admissions consultants can help families with school selection and other fit criteria. If your child’s SAT or GPA is just below the median of their target schools, working with an admissions consultant can be well worth the cost.
