High price, low effort. The consultants were not particularly bright.
An expensive process that did not pay off. This was nothing more than very expensive babysitting through SAT prep (which we could have done easily w/o Command) and college applications. The initial sales pitch was solely based on how Command would find what they call a hook that would set my kid apart from the rest. This is what sold me. Well, they did not deliver. Command prepped for SAT and was on top of the college application, albeit trying to low ball where to apply, but did nothing more than that. They never found the hook, they certainly did not try very hard, they did not deliver on internships, they did not come up with anything original, they really just helped with SAT prep and college essays. They have a young team of employees, your kid gets paired with one, that person becomes their tutor and that is it, you won't hear from anyone else again. It was disappointing, VERY EXPENSIVE and considering their initial sales pitch, very misleading. I would not recommend them. We did much much better in the past without them. After paying this much we didn't fair better than we would have without them. Save yourself money and just hire a tutor.
