Goals for Your Student

If your teen is a SOPHOMORE or JUNIOR, it’s not too early (or too late) to begin! Get questions answered, identify what might be important to your teen and you when searching for a college, creating an initial list, or clarify an existing one. Alleviate some of the stress for you and your teen during this important time while "keeping it real."

“I can’t quite believe both girls will be off to college in the fall. We could not have gotten through all the application process without your guidance and support. The girls loved working with you. It made the whole experience for them and us very manageable.”
— Amanda (Parent)

“Nancy Wigley’s professional insight was invaluable in helping our son to structure his applications so that he came alive through them. Nancy is so knowledgeable about what is happening right now in the college app process that she was able to view the apps from a college admission point of view and give great advice.

We had gone through this process eight years ago with our older son, and it seemed like an eternity ago. So it was comforting to hear from Nancy what she had just heard or read or seen at a conference that was totally relevant. When the applications were submitted, we felt completely confident that Cody had put his best foot forward in the most current way.”
— Elaine (Parent)
“Nancy Wigley could not have been a better fit for my son Jeff. She listened well so she really got to know him, and was right on in terms of which colleges might be a good match. As a result, Jeff was able to identify and be admitted into his first choice, a university we had only heard of before.

She spent a lot of time with him, with consistency and follow up. She also got to know Jeff way beyond just academics. She has an ability to get teenagers to open up, which is no easy task. And perhaps most importantly, one of the best results was that I was out of the loop!

I would recommend Nancy to any young adult ready for college, and already have.”
— Annie (Parent)
