COUNSELING PACKAGES
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the college admission process, you're not alone. Getting there is easier than you think. Four college counseling packages are offered. You can choose the one that best fits your needs, or design a custom-made package that has exactly what you want. |
Bronze Package—the first step
With this package, the student’s strengths and weaknesses will be identified in order to begin focusing the scope of college choices. Time, effort, and expenses in the college preparation process will be concentrated, detailed, and productive in order to provide critical and useful information to be used in the college search. At the end of this process, you will receive a list of six to eight colleges as recommended reach, match, and safety schools.
Silver Package—provides more help
The Silver package is ideal for the high school student—usually starting their freshman or sophomore year—who needs help developing interests, skills, and academic curriculum. It includes everything in the Bronze package, plus the additional process of identifying concrete opportunities and extracurricular activities in order to develop a strong student profile before they enter their critical junior year. Academic rigor will be assessed so as to match the student’s ability with the correct intensity. This package includes college application assistance as well as suggestions for basic essay revisions.
