Hi all, I'm contemplating whether to hire an admission consultant (eg Veritas Prep or Stacy Blackman or MBA Mission).
If you had to choose, would you rather invest money on one of those, or spend on quite a few (say, 5-8) campus visits across the country?
Here's my thinking: a consultant will probably cost like $5-7k and I may well get my money's worth! But I also wonder if I could simply rely on the wisdom of others and use, say, half that amount toward visits where I can build up a credible roster of on-campus experiences to draw upon in my essays (vs essays that, while professionally edited, draw upon tidbits sourced online, via emails with students, etc.).
Thank you in advance!
