Comprehensive Package
Our educational consultants have extensive experience helping students with the entire college process. We have visited over 100 schools, and have spoken with just as many admissions officers to get a feel for what each school looks for in its students. We are knowledgeable in all areas of the process, including athletic recruitment, college financing, interview preparation, essay writing, etc. If you feel that you and your family may want to begin working with one of our consultants when your child is a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, we recommend that you first come in for an hour-long preliminary session. We use this session to discuss the parents' and student's goals for the remainder of high school and college, and develop an individualized plan of attack for the student and parents. From there we essentially develop a schedule for the family as to when the student will plan before and two college (when to take standardized tests, SAT versus ACT, when and what college financing forms to fill out and submit, where the student might excel most, etc). Highlights are as follows:
-
Creating a list of appropriate schools
-
Building strategies to improve your chances of being accepted
-
Planning your visits and preparing you for them
-
Developing the essay, a critical part of the admissions process
-
Locating schools that are likely to give you scholarship money
-
Providing you with the expertise of our highly qualified admissions professionals
When To Begin? Is it too early? Too late?
We can begin working with your child at any time in his high school career. We take a different approach and can offer different options depending on how far the student is along in high school. Of course, the earlier you begin the more opportunities will be available to your child to help him gain admission to the college of his choice, but even if you get a later start, there is still a lot we can do. No matter where you are in the college admissions process (havent begun to look, last minute panic) we have strategies, tips, and suggestions to help your child create a plan.
