A college <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeconsensus.com\/resources\/getting-in\/what-does-an-admissions-consultant-do\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"45361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admissions consultant&#8217;s job<\/a> is to help students evaluate their career goals and then match them to a degree program that will provide them with the skills and abilities they will need to reach their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many students enroll in generic degree programs because they aren&#8217;t quite sure what career they want. Some start school and then explore their options once they have taken a few courses. It isn&#8217;t until they have gotten a taste of what their degree program is really like that they make the final decision concerning their final career choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Using College Admissions Consultants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many parents might think college admissions advisors are just for the wealthy, or for super-driven students who want to get in to an Ivy League school or one of the most prestigious research institutions. But, high-profile scandals at elite schools notwithstanding, that&#8217;s not at all the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>College admissions are competitive, the process can be long and confusing, and many parents don\u2019t know how to get their kids into college. This is especially true for parents who didn\u2019t go to college themselves. That\u2019s why the best college admissions consultants offer a range of pricing options and services, from essay help to a complete package. So, parents and students have a lot of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table
