Sure, but if I have the $$ to have someone else deal with it (and deal with keeping my child on a timeline) then why not?
Today it's the Rush Counselor - same song, different verse. Girls won't listen to their mother's advice, but they might listen to someone else. If mama has the $$, then she can put that task on someone else...

As my husband likes to say, "Wherever there's a deep human need, there's money to be made." It's true of the world's oldest profession. It's true of all these spammers peddling cheap Viagra. It's true of people who want to "help" young people get into top universities or parents who want their children to get into top universities. And it's true of people who want to "help" young women get into what they (the young women) consider top sororities. (And for the young women in question, all the advice you need is right here on GC for free.)
