The college application process can be daunting. From building a realistic college list to helping students apply for scholarships and understanding financial aid packages, we provide a personal and high level of service to guide students through the process and ultimately land at the best “fit” school.
Our Whole Child College Counseling™ approach to the college process is full-service and hands-on. What that means for students and families is that we are there to guide and support throughout the entire journey. What seems like a simple and straightforward process sometimes isn't. Our approach focuses on synthesizing a holistic view of the self for the college application journey, helping students and families reduce stress throughout the process while also helping them come to terms with personal identity and various educational needs, making us highly in demand.
In addition to being available for text/phone/email support for both parents and students regularly, this is what you can expect within each comprehensive package.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.
