Comprehensive College Counseling
Researching and applying to colleges and universities is an increasingly stressful endeavor for students and families. As an Independent Education Consultant, I use a pragmatic approach to bring a little bit of excitement back to the college search and application process. The comprehensive college counseling package includes list development, essay brainstorming, and application and deadline management helps keep the process moving along preventing panicked and overwhelmed students and families.
College List Development
I encourage students to build college lists that fit their unique needs, talents, and personalities always keeping in mind academic, social and financial fit. Using a variety of tools and research strategies, students gather information to build a list that reflects there preferences.
Essay Brainstorming
College essays should reflect a student's voice and experience. I work with students to help them develop the story they want to tell colleges and universities.
Mock Interviews
Interviewing with colleges admissions officers or alumni can be a daunting process for high school students but practice helps make the process less stressful. During mock interviews students practice and perfect good manners, learn to answer unexpected questions, and gather information to help them decide if a college or university is right for them.
Next Steps...
It's important to find the right college counselor for your student. An initial consultation can help you decide the right fit. Initial consultations last about an hour and give students and families the opportunity to learn about the college landscape, understand timelines and deadlines, and ask any questions they may have. The first meeting is always without charge or obligation.
