Welcome to the College Counseling Process!
Each student comes to this process at a different time and has a different story to tell, so our work together is individualized. It is important that each student has the focus and attention of the college counselor to explore possibilities. At the same time, the student should own the process because this is their time to begin mapping out their future. We view ourselves as guides in this journey; we are here to counsel, question, suggest and educate. We encourage frequent communication with students and families as, together, we generate a list of possible colleges to consider. We want to make the college process a positive journey for everyone.
Our approach is an open and honest one. We support students’ desire to aim high with their list of colleges while helping them understand that the college admissions process is subjective. Our advice, suggestions, and knowledge base come from years of data that track our alumni, personal and professional experiences, and national trends affecting college admissions today. It is important to keep the entire process in perspective and know that the self worth of a student cannot be tied up in the decisions colleges make. By working collaboratively as a team, our goal is that every student is successful.
We look forward to working with you.
