ONGOING COUNSELING
The Ongoing Counseling Program is designed to give clients top priority and unlimited
access to our counselors and staff by personal appointments, telephone, fax, and
email. We will continue to provide counseling until the student has gained admission
and made his/her final choice of college.
In addition to the services covered above for Individual Consultations, Ongoing
Counseling typically includes continued guidance on:
The progress of the student’s educational planning throughout the process.
- Refining the appropriate list of colleges, including reach, target, and
likely based on feedback from the student’s college visits and research,
grades, and testing results during the junior and senior years.
- The preparation of college applications, including discussion, review,
and critique of essays and other materials that are required or that will help
in the admissions process.
- Preparing the student for personal interviews.
- Selecting the most appropriate college from among those to which the student
has been admitted.
- Preparing for the transition to college and making initial college course
choices.
We do all we can to help students prepare for admission to colleges of their choice;
given the nature of the admission process and selectivity of many colleges and
universities, we do not guarantee admission to any specific institution.
