Sending your child to college can be a rewarding process, but for many families it is an overwhelming and stressful challenge. Choosing a college that will end in the perfect fit is perhaps the biggest decision you and your child will ever make together. Seeking the assistance of a college consultant, who can help you evaluate options and maximize opportunities, can be a wise investment.

As independent college counselors, we provide you with reliable information, objective advice, and the individual attention and expertise needed to form plans, weigh choices and make informed decisions. While school guidance counselors have an important role in counseling college-bound students, they often have other school responsibilities or too many students to offer adequate individual attention.

The process of thinking about and applying to colleges is about more than getting accepted. With the guidance of an experienced professional, 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.

We spend time with your family, and meet individually with your student to assess interests, personality, values, strengths, extracurricular and academic aspirations. We then develop a plan with you and your student to make them happen. Throughout the process, we are available to both of you every step of the way.

We are college counselors because we love working with high school students and helping them develop their unique gifts. We are dedicated to helping our students find a great college match and make a successful transition to college. Our goal is to have them take positive charge of their life, manage their application process, and make wise decisions for themselves. We foster student responsibility, goal-setting, initiative, planning and independence.

This is an exciting time for your son or daughter, and one that need not be fraught with tension and conflict. There are great college choices for everyone! If you are concerned about making the right choice, then hiring a knowledgeable consultant committed to helping you can ease the stress and help ensure the future your child deserves.
