FAQs
1 / Why hire a college counselor?
The higher education system in the US is multilayered and complex. The admissions process is increasingly opaque and therefore, stressful. For you, for the kids. Hiring a professional:
-
creates a balanced path out of the insanity -- structure and organization
-
gives the benefit of individualized advice and insight
-
breaks through parent/child dynamics and help kids develop the independence they'll need for college life.
2/ What makes you different?
Having taught at universities, I know what skills your child needs to be successful at college.
My practice is intentionally structured to help kids develop the independence, self-advocacy, relationship-building and executive functioning skills that will give them a strong college experience.
3/ Will you guarantee admission to X college?
No reputable college counselor can guarantee your child's admission to a particular college. We can guarantee:
-
accurate, up-to-date, in-depth information
-
individualized guidance and support
so that your child presents a maximally compelling application
and bolsters their chances of admission.
