This decision can be made on a case-by-case basis. Some parents decide to sit in on every meeting that takes place between the student and the consultant, while others decide to attend only some of the meetings (or none at all opting for phone calls or emails to stay updated). Parental involvement is not required, encouraged, or discouraged. Instead, College Admissions Consultants believes that a parent’s involvement should be based upon what the student and parent feel most comfortable with.
