College Counseling

College counseling enables parents and their children to:

• Identify student strengths, values, and interests
• Initiate a customized college search
• Choose dream and safety schools
• Apply survival strategies and time management skills to the college application process
• Prepare winning applications

How can college counseling help students and their families?

The college you attend will shape your future. Although college application is a complicated process, with good planning and careful preparation, you can achieve your goals: finding the best colleges for you and acceptance to the college of your choice.

When is the best time for college exploration?

Parents and students appreciate information about the college admissions process as early in their high school years as possible. By spring of the junior year families should begin a comprehensive college search initiative.
