MBA Admissions Consulting: Is It Worth It?

My sister is planning to apply to business school this year. She’s eying two schools: HBS and Stanford. I tried helping her with her essays, but just to be sure, I wonder if we should go ahead and hire a consultant? While researching online, I came across Penn & Paper, the leader in helping students prepare brilliant admissions essays. Here’s what their home page says:
