Deciding which college to investigate further, and ultimately place on the college list takes time and effort. Your teen will have a final, yet fluid list by early fall of the Senior Year, and be ready to take on the applications!
“We wanted to send you a note to thank you for being such an incredible and invaluable resource to our son and niece this past year. Your advice, guidance, positivity and calm, organized approach made the college application process an exciting and stress-free period. We greatly appreciate all of the time, energy and effort you put into getting to know both of our seniors. Your help in creating their college lists and perfecting their essays was so very beneficial. Thanks to you they are both going to be attending their dream schools this Fall.
We also greatly appreciate your willingness to take on our niece so late in the college application process. It meant the world to her (and us!) that you really took the time to guide her and get her focused on the college path. Your kindness is something we’ll always remember! We feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to have our children get to work with you.”
College Visits
We suggest students visit as many colleges as possible throughout the State, across the Country and locally for type (rural, small, medium, large, private, public, Catholic). Visits help students visualize college life for themselves. The timing of visits depends on the student and family. We can help with that.
Meeting and Updates
We meet with the student as often as they are comfortable and as we feel is needed to accomplish our goals. We also meet with parents as needed or desired.
Updates, and parent meetings, are available so that you can be confident that the process is moving forward as expected.
