College Admissions Counseling

In general, the effectiveness of a personal consultant increases the earlier the student starts his or her work.

The ideal consulting starting point is 9th grade, as students are encouraged to take the key required classes that will later on provide them with the opportunity to take AP classes.

Individualized College Plan

In a single meeting, as well as phone, email, or other in-person consultations throughout the year, I will research and develop a personalized plan based on the students’ interests, personality, grades and test scores, as well as the financial needs and geographic location.

This will include and is not limited to:

Empowering and supporting you during the application process, ensuring that the application and resume best show the students’ interests and talents.
Creating a standardized testing schedule and recommendations.
Brainstorming essay topics and editing the essays while ensuring that the students’ voice comes through.
Providing information and advice to help demystify the college admission and financial aid process.
Preparing the student for college interviews.
Review of acceptance offers to determine the best college for the student.
Developing a scholarship list targeted for each individual student.
Developing interests into future extra-curricular opportunities
PSAT and PLAN test planning

11th grade is the last full year of a student’s academic record that colleges will see before most applications are submitted. At this time, it is important to have an overview of the current admissions process, and guidance for choosing colleges which best match a student’s interests and profile.

Consulting consists of regular family and/or student meetings, “best fit” college research, and phone and email contacts throughout the year.

Second semester 11th graders and fall semester 12th graders are working toward the same goals, but juniors have the advantage of time. Consulting consists of regular family and/or student meetings, “best fit” college research, and phone and email contacts throughout the year.
