College Counseling

GraduatesPTS College Counseling is an independent college admissions counseling practice committed to helping students gain acceptance to the colleges and universities that best fit their goals, expectations and dreams. To accomplish this, we counsel our students in selecting appropriate schools and coach them on writing powerful applications.

Our approach to college counseling is underlain by the belief that all students can find an appropriate college where they can succeed academically, extracurricularly and socially—and that the college application process is valuable above and beyond the acceptances it yields. Through the process of thinking about and applying to colleges, our students gain insight into their passions and values that results in clear-headed thinking about the future and increased self-confidence. Learning how to interview, build a resume, present themselves on paper, and organize a large-scale, multi-faceted project are just some of the skills that students take away from this process for future endeavors.

Preparing for college should be one of the most exciting times of a student's life—not a time of stress, anxiety, confusion or frustration. In today's hyper-competitive admissions climate, this process can unfortunately be overwhelming, and even the best efforts often benefit from extra support, guidance and expertise.

Based in Palm Beach County, FL, PTS College Counseling works with students throughout the United States. Since not all families are able to take advantage of face-to-face sessions, we also counsel students by phone, e-mail and videocam (Skype.)
