College Consulting

College Consulting

With over 5,000 choices in colleges and universities nationwide, there is definitely a college for everyone! In fact, there are so many choices that the process of selecting a college that is right for you can be extremely daunting. Don’t worry. We are here to help you manage this process in a unique way that best meets your needs. Like all of our other services, we tailor the college consulting process by offering all of our services in an hourly format, so that you can pick and choose just what you need. Of course, we also offer comprehensive packages as well.

Although you might think that the college selection process is about pouring over lists of schools and statistics, the process really starts by getting to know yourself better. We have a variety of tools to help you start to reflect on the things that are most important in selecting a college where you will thrive, as well as help you and your parents to get on the same page and communicate effectively regarding the selection process.

If you are overwhelmed with managing the process, we can help you create a timeline and manage your deadlines without the stress.

If you are wondering if you are taking the “right” high school courses, if you have enough or the right mix of extracurricular activities and volunteer work, or if you have a high enough ACT or SAT score, we can evaluate your transcript, resume, and test scores and help ensure that you are on the right path.

If you are having troubles building your college list, we can teach you valuable research skills, or you can tell us what you are looking for in a college, and we will do the research for you.

If you are nervous about college visits or the interview process, we can provide coaching, guidance and a mock interview to help you prepare.

If you are struggling with your essays, we can help you find your voice and deliver your message dynamically.

We can offer as much or as little support as you need! Call us today to schedule your FREE consultation.
