The views are incredible (the picture is a hike along Lake Michigan to the Treat Fam Trail to the Empire Bluff Trail). In fact, this park was voted as the most beautiful place in America by Good Morning America several years ago.

One of the primary arguments for hiring a private college coach or college admissions consultant is that public school guidance counselors are too overworked to give each high school student personalized attention in the college admissions process. Many students report only having a few minutes in the whole of their junior year to speak with their guidance counselor about their college aspirations, and for many that conversation is their first and only meeting with the counselor.
