College placement is an art, not a science. Each student is a
unique individual and must approach the college selection process
differently, based on his needs and interests. With this belief,
I founded First Choice College Placement in 1999. Since then we
have worked with students from all over the United States, and
from as far as Saudi Arabia, and Trinidad and Tobago, on an individual
basis, helping those students determine their individual needs
and attain their educational goals. We work with all types of
students: from the hyper-academic to those who are struggling,
those who know exactly where they want to go and those who have
no idea where they might like to be. We succeed in educational
counseling by understanding primarily that:
- By providing an efficient, but laid-back atmosphere, students
can prepare for college, standardized tests, and the application
process in a way which alleviates panic and frustration.
- It is necessary to give each student, no matter their academic
standing, an equal effort to find a college that suits the student
and his ideals.
- We can provide ample options and information on the financial
aid process to any family, no matter their financial capabilities.
- We hire intelligent, understanding, and friendly tutors to
aid students with SAT, ACT, study skills, and academic tutoring.
- We have no "typical student," and there is always
an abundance of options for each student and her family to choose
the college most suitable for the student.
Our mission is to provide each student with
the knowledge, strategies, and skills necessary to succeed in
any academic setting.
What Makes Us Different?
As college admissions becomes increasingly competitive, you may
have noticed the proliferation of educational consultants. Many
students are finding that schools their older siblings gained
acceptance to are not accepting them, even with better grades,
better SAT scores, and a stronger resume of activities. Guidance
to help students and their families with the admissions process
is a growing necessity. We are different because:
- Our consultants keep their knowledge current by constantly
visiting college campuses, reading educational journals, and
attending conferences. Click
here for a list of colleges they have visited.
- Our company works with the entire family rather than just
the student, as the college decision is often a family decision
that affects all members financially and emotionally.
- We are available at all times to individually walk you through
the process.
- Our consultants are experts on the Financial Aid Process,
and can help you integrate the quality of college financial
aid programs into your college search.
- We have experts in athletic placement on staff to help you
successfully market your son or daughter to the appropriate
college programs, based on both their academic and athletic
needs.
