Kaplan does some good consulting. I used them to review my admissions essay for graduate school...very helpful, but expensive.

What do you mean by "good?" They are basically charging you an arm and a leg to tell you what you could get off the college's website, and from a couple of college advice books at the library.
They can't write your essay for you, and they can't write your letters of reference. They can't change your GPA and they can't get you a better SAT score.
If your family is really rich, and getting you into a certain college is your family's idea of keeping up with the Joneses, then I think this would be a way to spend a lot of money without actually doing yourself much harm. It would be harm though, if they got you into a school that was really too high a level for you, and then you spend four years being frustrated.
