A SANE APPROACH
TO CHOOSING A COLLEGE
College is a time of intellectual and personal development and lasting memories. The application process is often a nightmare — but it doesn’t have to be!
No one can control the outcome. It’s unpredictable. Colleges have institutional goals to fulfill and only so many spots. A stellar application can be denied. However, there are tips and information that will help you create your best application and set you apart from the pack.
Statistics show that the college name does not determine your future. Only you can do that, and you can do it anywhere.
I explain the process, propose a calm way to go about it, suggest colleges that are a good fit, and guide you through the many steps of applying to help avoid common pitfalls. The need for a consultant is partly due to the fact that high school counselors have hundreds of students to advise. I provide individualized, consistent, and frequent assistance to make the process efficient and smooth. I offer an early bird planning package, a comprehensive package, and an hourly rate. You could potentially do this on your own with a significant investment of time, but at the upfront cost of approximately one to four percent of the total bill for a college education, why risk it?
My special skill — assisting you in writing a compelling and authentic essay — has been honed during decades as a professional journalist and college writing instructor. My son’s college essay appears in the book 50 Successful Harvard Application Essays. Our writing sessions will also help prepare you to earn higher grades in your college courses.
There are no guarantees in life, but choosing well now is an investment in your education, personal growth, and future wonderful memories.
Make your best choice. Four years is a long time to be unhappy.
