Start college counseling early for the most impact
Like freshman-year-in-high-school early. Getting into the right college means the right course of study in grades 10-12. Science and math? English and history? Pre-med? Pre-law? A college counselor helps you decide your career path — and what classes and activities to make it a reality. Start college counseling as early as your last year in middle school for a head start on all your classmates.
Lower tuition costs with college counseling
So you’ve chosen a major. How are you going to pay for it? A dream school may be more affordable with financial aid you may not be aware of. What scholarships, loans, grants are you eligible for? Local, state, federal? Knowing how you’re going to pay for college is a must. Knowing how to pay less takes experience with hundreds of schools. Stretch your budget further with a college counselor.
Save time and reduce stress with college counseling
Ugh. You’ve got classes, papers, exams. Extracurriculars like sports, student government, clubs. You’re an intern. You work part-time. Who has the time and energy to research all these colleges? Do all this paperwork? You can’t afford to miss anything. Or leave anything out. Get your own college counselor for a single point of contact for every aspect of your application.
Write a winning application essay with a college essay counselor
You took all the right classes. You have an amazing GPA. You participated in loads of activities. But… so did everyone else. More and more schools look to your college application essay as the most significant factor in admissions. (Science schools, too.) Work with a college essay counselor to see how to select topics and write like admissions counselors read.
Applying all by yourself? Let a college counselor review your work
Maybe you don’t think you need college counseling to manage all this for you. You’re doing it all yourself. Still — you benefit from a second set of eyes with a college counselor. A few sessions of college counseling help reduce errors, save time editing, and sometimes reveal missed opportunities. Turn a great application into a can’t-put-down one with your college counselor.
Your college admissions consultant takes the guesswork out of your application process
More than 10 million students apply to college every year. Nearly all of them have good grades, high test scores, and lengthy lists of extracurricular activities. And the more exclusive the university or college, the fewer spots that are available, and the competition that much more intense.
