I had a one hour session with one so I can add a little bit of commentary.
They told me what I already knew basically. I was asking for advice on the schools to apply to and what my weaknesses were. I wonder if I should have listened because it made me feel I needed more to get into my first 2 choices. In the end, I ended up pushing back my applications to next year. There is no doubt in my mind that my application will be much much stronger, but it's ANOTHER YEAR. Ugh.
Well, we'll wait one more year and see.
I suggest you get some of their books. Alex Chu and Paul Bodine look like they have good ones. I'm going to read through them this year. This will help you see what they can do to essays.
Like the previous post, they just help you present a very good, polished, application, but, ultimately, it's still your application.
