到底请升学顾问有用吗？？？

马上9年级的女生，自己还不知道自己喜欢什么，也没有什么academic或者文体强项，自己满足于每科得A。我们家长也不知道目标在哪里。大概想的就是UC系列。她自己对CS, ROBOTIC都不感兴趣，说几个朋友都说想学医，那她自己也可以学医方面把。我就想如果她真想学医，那就不用请升学顾问了，反正都是需要大学成绩的，我们也管不到大学了。但是她自己也不决定不知道。我说那就请个升学顾问吧，看看她这个情况到底能干嘛或者指导一下，但是LG对升学顾问非常反感，觉得升学顾问没用，尤其是不爬藤。我说我父母出钱为孙女请，他还是反对。所以，请问，请过的觉得升学顾问有用吗

回复 1楼bernard123的帖子
觉得父母懂英语，申请美国研究生留学过来的，用处不大，申请UC更不大必要了。

我们倒是英文没问题，但是没真正在这边读过书，LG直接就是博士后，我申请也进了康奈尔master program, 但是没读完找到工作就quit了

请升学顾问有利有弊。首先看你能不能找到靠谱的，其次看你觉得两三万往上的价格值不值得。
如果这两个问题的回答都是肯定的话，不妨请一个。现在UC越来越难进，如果没有什么课外活动的话，写文书的时候可能会难以找到主题。有的升学顾问是可以在课外活动方面提供帮助的。另外，如果要申请医学院的，最好是避免去大公校，因为竞争太激烈，不太容易拿到好的GPA。去liberal arts college是个不错的选择。
再一个，申请研究生和申请本科完全不一样。申请本科的头绪太多，各种细碎问题都要考虑到。请升学顾问可以确保大的方面不出错，细节问题最好是自己多留意。

有好的顾问，或者机构推荐吗？

我也不确定有没有用。为了将来不后悔，我还是准备请一个。我们目标也就是UC系列。

我没请， 但朋友圈里基本都请了，看去年和今年的录取情况， 请没请没大差别，牛娃恒牛， 请不请都爬藤， 一般的娃，请不请结果都是或者省钱去top uc， 或者花钱去东岸私校，女孩录取情况明显好于男孩。有的娃听话， 升学顾问建议的活动基本都参加了， 也有娃难管，只是改改essay而已，最后录取的学校几乎一摸一样， 也是让我大吃一惊， 好像ao能洞穿这些升学顾问的把戏似的。

我家邻居请了 最后去了uc 如果不请 估计也是uc

父母懂英文跟能指导孩子升学是两码事。我们对这边的大学及专业的了解有限，很多偏门的学校和专业都不知道，对中不溜的孩子，这些学校和专业可能是改变命运的关键。父母的中式思维，在指导孩子课外活动和修改文书的时候有时会害了孩子，这需要好的顾问帮忙矫正。
除非父母在这边上过本科，孩子如果没有明确目标，成绩也不突出，我觉得可以请个顾问。顾问也是良莠不齐的，有些只指导过一两个入藤的孩子，就到处吹嘘，和他们一聊就发现他们也只会人云亦云，并不能抓住孩子的特点，因材施教，能有那样的结果，多半还是人家孩子自己优秀。这种顾问就得躲着点。

请了也许会起反作用。比如包装出来的简历大同小异，没有特色，招办一看就能看出是升学顾问包装的。或者他们看了你的essay觉得idea不错，拿去给一个别的客户借鉴了一下。总之被别人摸清楚自己的底细和申请材料没啥好处，万一他们的策略是取各家之长，你白白给人提供了子弹。他们推荐的活动，参加人多了，招办一看就能看出来是为了升学而参加的，还不如你自己去发掘小众的活动。 还有比如说，万一他们觉得你孩子简历不行，申不了藤校，劝你别申。你要是听了他们的，可如果偏偏赶上那一年藤校招生策略有变化，就偏好你娃这样的，或者那一年竞争就没那么激烈呢？不试试怎么知道会不会撞大运。我当年从国内申请出国的时候，我们系学长学姐写的出国攻略是绩点至少要达到3.5，没有3.5想都别想。我绩点比3.5差远了，要是信了他们的我现在肯定不在美国了。事实证明我就是撞了大运，拿的offer比那些绩点3.8，3.9的人拿的offer还要好很多。就算你不听他们的自己申藤校，也会被他们打击士气。

谢谢分享

九年级如果不是非常有目标的小孩，本来就不知道自己以后要干嘛，现在说喜欢医学院，真的有去看医学院要学啥东西，所以有兴趣吗？ 小孩不知道要学啥，家长可以自行观察。 而且顾问有能力这么大，可以給小孩指路选那个科系吗？ 我是自己做研究了，觉得没必要请顾问。

收藏

还有一点很重要，青春期的小孩未必能听进去父母的指导，父母花了很多时间精力，孩子根本不在乎，也会产生矛盾，还是请了省的破坏家庭关系。

你家的情况请长期顾问没有用，课外活动就那些选择，跟着学校里的俱乐部搞搞就够了。不过可以请他们专门看一下essay。并不是要他们润色essay，他们的文笔有的时候也千篇一律，而是在topic和整体框架上把一下关。曾经在网上看见孩子录的不好，结果essay放上来一看，明显topic和整体框架有问题的。

老大也是马上就要9年级了，也是不太清楚自己要做什么。可是想想我自己14岁初中的时候更是不知道长大以后干什么，现在也过得挺好。还是就是美国这个升学机制闹得…

我也很担心请了反而起反作用，了解到的大部分华人顾问人品都不太好，比如家长和孩子自己想到的提升点，拿去给别的孩子借鉴，这是真真实实发生在自己身边的事情，虚假包装就更常见了。我个人是非常受不了让孩子跟这种人品的人“学习”的。而且花高价请顾问，家长和孩子就有点指望别人来推自己，主观能动性多少打点折扣吧，这难道是好事？
其实很重要的一点也是看孩子，比如我娃性格强，根本不愿意请任何顾问，他同学有请的，一到假期就是被人安排去上这个那个辅导班的，他觉得活的都跟木偶一样。我是觉得孩子自己要是不愿意，那家长非得请了，就肯定是反作用吧。

对没计划的人很有用，我知道一个感觉社区大学水平的人请了指导，去了排名不错的类似普渡 那种级别的学校

这事儿我也很困惑。我有一位朋友的儿子从国内来读的加州好私校，从9年级开始一直由顾问打造，包括选课、参加哪些课外活动、哪些夏校、竞赛等等。据说费用30-40万人刀。确实录了藤校。但我想好私校加娃本身也不错，是不是不用顾问也行。其实我最困惑的是，高中是自己一个人生阶段，难道不是要自己去经历体会？什么都让别人安排了，感觉活了个剧本似的。是我自己都不愿意的事。
当然，这只是我的困惑。我也巴望娃上好大学，和我家娃也确实因为青春期的各种鸡毛时有不愉快，娃也不是一帆风顺。不过我还是选择没有给他请那种整个高中阶段的顾问。而且看趋势，娃也很可能到申请阶段也不愿意用。

你娃没课外活动吗？先花钱去做一些，比如打网球，参加各种summer camp，大学的research program，然后你就知道孩子应该往那些方向发展了。孩子自己也会发展出一些兴趣。 娃的兴趣应该是娃和你们家长应该去发掘的，而不是升学顾问。

不打算请，关键是太费钱了啊。娃的情况是差学校鸡头的感觉，让娃自己去闯吧。希望能顺顺利利的吧。

不是没参加过，游泳，水球，网球，排球，track and field 都试过了，不喜欢，本身体能也不是那么好，音乐放弃，叫她试试合唱队她不愿意。她喜欢volunteer,暑假在city summer camp做volunteer.这是她唯一喜欢and be pround of herself. Volunteer面试的时候，她说其他人都是15，16岁，她报年龄13岁补了一句我暑假就14了，自己觉得很骄傲。她自己的打算是明年暑假15了她要申请camp leader的工作。我知道serve the community只能是package的一项。而且现在那么多包装出来的community service所以担心她做了很多也没什么recognization.

我娃大学时给顾问公司打工, 就是帮看assay. 顾问公司就是忽悠来客户, 找学生看看吧

关键是LG很反对升学指导甚至我为小孩制定计划项目，理由和前面反对升学指导的一样，不想为孩子规划一切，希望自然而然的让孩子成长，大学后反正也管不住，最好现在就开始，他还总说再怎么也能CSU吧，实在不行community college再转UC，还有这么多不需要大学文凭的好工作（护士，imaging tech之类）。但是我的想法就是和大家一样，觉得有时候和她交流有困难，她不愿意听，升学指导的话也许她会听，毕竟他们接触的孩子多，也许请不请最后结果都一样，但是不请觉得心虚。

像这样的孩子不少，其实不追求学校排名的话也够用了。我们家门口的公立大学，排名一百左右，因为地段好，其实毕业生工作不难找。这个学校的Essay就一个问题，你为什么要上大学，都没有问为什么要上我们这个大学。我家儿子惹我生气的时候我就想，他至少能上这个大学吧，到时候在家门口找个工作，我时不时能看见他，不也挺好的吗。当然我家儿子成绩也糊弄，你家的至少成绩好，多申请几个，也许排名靠前的也能进。

每次看到这些压力指数就爆棚了

我家老大没请升学顾问，上了个UC，顺顺当当。在大学里欢欢喜喜，功课没啥压力。反正他从小到大我觉的他都是轻松的。实习也轻松找到有了工作了。 反倒老二，是个自推娃也不肯跟父母多交流，什么都自己扛。快到申请大学季了，问她要不要升学顾问，她说找个改essay的吧。周边问了一圈，死贵死贵。Essay我们也帮不上，打算给找个改essay的。有没有推荐靠谱改essay的？ 本来指望老大给老二把把门，可惜老二也不跟老大交流，无解了。花点钱改essay吧。 私心也希望老二上UC，省钱。

还有一点很重要，青春期的小孩未必能听进去父母的指导，父母花了很多时间精力，孩子根本不在乎，也会产生矛盾，还是请了省的破坏家庭关系。
cheekymaomao 发表于 2022-05-14 05:26

我们请的重要原因之一。想孩子在高中期间做有方向的事情，不至于荒废时间，因为公校时间充裕太多。目标也不是要爬藤。顾问的话他能听进去，原因去做些事情了解不同的东西。我觉得就值得了。

我朋友孩子今年高中毕业。跟我说小孩写essay写的崩溃，经常自己改来改去改哭了。所以老二说请个改essay的，我同意花这笔钱（我铁公鸡拔毛）。

这个牛！

Mark,

我没请， 但朋友圈里基本都请了，看去年和今年的录取情况， 请没请没大差别，牛娃恒牛， 请不请都爬藤， 一般的娃，请不请结果都是或者省钱去top uc， 或者花钱去东岸私校，女孩录取情况明显好于男孩。有的娃听话， 升学顾问建议的活动基本都参加了， 也有娃难管，只是改改essay而已，最后录取的学校几乎一摸一样， 也是让我大吃一惊， 好像ao能洞穿这些升学顾问的把戏似的。
kitty2 发表于 2022-05-14 03:26

对，就和内卷大家都站着看电影差不多，都花钱努力了，效果差不多。

这事儿我也很困惑。我有一位朋友的儿子从国内来读的加州好私校，从9年级开始一直由顾问打造，包括选课、参加哪些课外活动、哪些夏校、竞赛等等。据说费用30-40万人刀。确实录了藤校。但我想好私校加娃本身也不错，是不是不用顾问也行。其实我最困惑的是，高中是自己一个人生阶段，难道不是要自己去经历体会？什么都让别人安排了，感觉活了个剧本似的。是我自己都不愿意的事。
当然，这只是我的困惑。我也巴望娃上好大学，和我家娃也确实因为青春期的各种鸡毛时有不愉快，娃也不是一帆风顺。不过我还是选择没有给他请那种整个高中阶段的顾问。而且看趋势，娃也很可能到申请阶段也不愿意用。

人傻钱多的会请，把孩子的自主能动性消耗殆尽。真正的人生离家后才开始，尽量早地放手让孩子掌握自己的人生才是真的对孩子好，很多华人一代想不明白。大学里工作后出类拔萃的无一不是特别独立有主见的人

有钱的话可以请啊

是不是私校不用请公校还是需要请一个？

其实都知道应该做什么可以提高被录取的chance，问题是孩子做得到吗？我不认为顾问能改变什么

升学顾问的作用不应该是包装。应该是给孩子提供各种信息供他们参考和探索，找出最有兴趣最适合自己的项目。现在的顾问都变味了。

有意思，先收藏

大部分升学顾问 ，不过是因为焦虑想买个心安而已。

回复 75楼uglyduck的帖子
提供个信息几万块，太贵了

还有很多升学顾问开的课程就是个骗钱的坑，自己要能识别。
报名的人太多，结果和过程根本没办法顾及，用顾问自己的话就是“中国父母人傻钱多，只管开课，效果怎么样是自己的事”

Thanks!

如果只是想找出来专业方向，可以问问学校的counselor能不能帮忙做个career direction兴趣评估，基本就是按你的个性来找出可能适合你的职业。美剧friends里面有集Chandler就专门去做了个评估看自己最适合什么工作，就是和那种类似的评估。找出来大致方向后，再去看看工作的typical day和career path，我记得这些都是有专门的机构收集信息然后卖个高校的，我以前在graduate school用学校的database查过这些信息

学习了！

Mark 升学秘籍！！

马克学习一下

没有用！省下那些💰吧！

升学顾问的作用不应该是包装。应该是给孩子提供各种信息供他们参考和探索，找出最有兴趣最适合自己的项目。现在的顾问都变味了。

同意这个，包装出来没意思。我自己会多观察孩子，孩子喜欢什么会鼓励他参与，可是不会什么都帮他做好。还是要锻炼他独立思考和主动性

还没上高中的孩子，你希望她决定什么呢？如果不是爬藤，全a的孩子，为啥大人这么焦虑？

不用请。 大部分是骗钱，屁用没有，就是填个表。 要价老贵，4万美金起步。

父母懂英文跟能指导孩子升学是两码事。我们对这边的大学及专业的了解有限，很多偏门的学校和专业都不知道，对中不溜的孩子，这些学校和专业可能是改变命运的关键。父母的中式思维，在指导孩子课外活动和修改文书的时候有时会害了孩子，这需要好的顾问帮忙矫正。
除非父母在这边上过本科，孩子如果没有明确目标，成绩也不突出，我觉得可以请个顾问。顾问也是良莠不齐的，有些只指导过一两个入藤的孩子，就到处吹嘘，和他们一聊就发现他们也只会人云亦云，并不能抓住孩子的特点，因材施教，能有那样的结果，多半还是人家孩子自己优秀。这种顾问就得躲着点。

顾问就是用这些偏门专业，申请了名校了，然后不说专业，什么哲学，艺术了，除非家里有钱，普通家庭还是算了。 没看到啥改变命运，除了爸妈钱掏空。

娃还小，先进来洗洗脑

找华人的顾问，真不如父母自己花时间做点research吧

是啊 更重要的是，偏门的，不是自己喜欢的，去了又有什么用处？偏门但是自己喜欢的，也不会等别人帮着发掘出来吧。
