Most college counselors offer services specific to the college admission process assisting with applications, essay writing, and communication guidance with colleges. We work with students to create a strategic plan with suggested experiences, high school organizations, electives, volunteer opportunities, and social media engagement to aid in their decision making for selecting an area of collegiate study. We also provide tools for them to learn skills that will benefit throughout life like research, prioritization, self-initiative, and professional communication.
What makes us different than a college counselor?
