MBA Admissions Consultant Worth it for H/S/W?

Targeting HSW and have a 3.8 GPA, 705 FE, from T15 in comp sci, URM, decent leadership, and 2.5 years in Quant AM (2 at a BB). Really want to maximize my chances but don’t know if a consultant will really add value vs a few hours of interview prep/one hour of someone looking over resume/essays. Looking at square one prep if anyone has any previous experience with them
