Why
Use A Private College Counselor?
 | To
save time during the college search process. We do some of the “ leg
work” and make sure you are organized in your search and stay “on
track”. This is especially welcomed when parents are going through the
process for the first time, both working or when the student is very
involved in their high school academics and activities and has limited time
to concentrate on fully researching college options. |
| To
provide or supplement the college search guidance and advice that
students may or may not be receiving at their high school or at home. |
| To
capitalize on the private college counselor’s experience, background,
knowledge and expertise in areas that may be unfamiliar to the student
or parents. Private counselors can spend quality time educating you further
on such topics as financial aid and test requirements. |
| To
receive individual attention during the college search. A private
counselor is dedicated to you and your success – from making
the right college choice, to selecting a major and personalized coaching
through the maze of selecting courses, testing, writing essays, completing
applications, interviewing and identifying scholarship opportunities. |
| To
save money. “ Isn’t it an expense to hire a private college
counselor?” you may ask. Just
as we invest in our children’s music and dance lessons, academic tutoring
and sports training in order to provide them the best opportunities, so
should we invest in laying the groundwork for their college years.
Consider the current national trends: |
 | 1
out of 3 college students leave the college where they started |
| 6
out of 10 students change their majors before graduating |
| 5
out of 10 college students require five or more years to earn their degree |
With quality and professional
coaching, students can avoid being one of these statistics and clearly “set
their compass” and make appropriate choices every step of the way!
