Why Hire a College Consultant?
How
Can A College Admissions Consultant Help Your Family?
- High
School curriculum planning. A
consultant can help students make smart choices about their high school courses
so that they stay on track for college admissions.
- College
admissions profile assessment.
Although no consultant can guarantee admission to any individual college, a
consultant can help your child identify their strengths as an applicant.
- College
selection. A consultant can assist your child
in finding the colleges and universities which best match their interests,
personality, needs and admissions profile.
- College
entrance exams. A professional consultant can
answer questions about which college entrance exams are most appropriate for
your child and when to schedule testing. Some consultants also provide assistance
with test preparation.
- College
applications and essays. A
consultant works with each student to establish a realistic schedule for
staying on top of application details and deadlines. Consultants may also
review application elements, including essays.
- Majors and
Careers. Students often benefit from
guidance in choosing majors and careers that are a good fit, as well as
information about which colleges offer strong programs in areas of interest.
- Financial
Aid. Many families worry about how to
pay for college expenses. A consultant can help your family navigate these
concerns, while pointing your family in the direction of financial aid and
merit scholarship opportunities.
- Help from
a non-biased third party so that
you and your child can focus on enjoying this time together, rather than
arguing about completing college applications
