Students need to have a strategy in place to reach their admission goals. An independent college counselor can help you develop a plan to get into your dream school. Starting long before any college applications are submitted, a college consultant helps students with planning for the future. A private college counselor assesses where they are now and creates unique roadmaps to get you to your academic destinations.
Juliet’s college consulting services in San Diego and across the United States help you with selecting schools. Juliet stays on top of grades, test preparation, and building competitive applications that help students stand out. Our essay consultants can help you with writing your college application essay, too. They have knowledge of the selection criteria at many different institutions, so they can direct students to build backgrounds. Although some colleges prefer well-rounded students, others seek more focused candidates. Your college counselor can help you with applications and essays for both.
Benefits of Working with an Independent College Counselor
Planning ahead for your child’s college admissions process can make the difference between success and disappointment. Waiting until it’s too late into the application timeline can mean lower test scores. Rushing to complete paperwork before deadlines, may result in rejection or a seat on the waitlist. Our admissions counselors help you stay on top of scholarships, too. Senior year is stressful enough for both parents and students without adding this additional pressure to the mix.
While of course getting into the best schools is one goal when working with a college admissions consultant, it’s important to also find the ideal match for your child. According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, 62% of students finished their Bachelor’s degree where they initially matriculated in 2023.
Working with a college consultant can smooth the rough waters of applying to college and graduating. A college consultant supports students as they apply to schools that are suited to them. Additionally, making sure certain high school coursework is completed may satisfy basic college course prerequisites, thereby shaving off time in degree programs. Our admissions counselors can also advise further study to strengthen your application and prepare for the rigors of college.
