So let's get to the point: How much time and money needs to be spent on a child's college process? Most parents don't have the experience, knowledge or resources to guide their students through the college placement process. They often oversimplify their college planning process and depend on their high school coaches, club coaches, friends, relatives or even hear-say.
College Advisory
With over thirty
years of
experience
individually, our
staff has done
extensive
post-graduate
work in Special
Education,
Learning
Disabilities,
Supervisory
Education,
Administrative
Education and
Organizational
Psychology
toward
certification in
various areas.
In working with
high school
students and
post-high school
students the
focus is to
develop skills
which will help
them to achieve
success and
promote an
excellent
profile for
college
admission
preparation.
This component
also customizes
college searches
to fit the needs
and wants of
students,
such as
location, size,
academic ranking
and cost. Too
many families
make the mistake
of
oversimplifying
the college
search based on
rankings or
school
reputation. With
the cost of many
private colleges
approaching
$250,000 for 4
years, these can
be costly
mistakes. Our
college advisory
package counsels
students and
parents to gain
a deeper
understanding of
their college
decision making
process. We
spend a
significant
portion of our
time speaking
with and
critiquing
colleges
throughout the
region and the
country. In
fact, we may
suggest colleges
that you have
never heard of.
Our main goal is
finding a best
fit college or
university for
both the student
and his or her
family.
Research shows
that most
students limit
their college
search to:
Schools their
friends attend
Schools based on
looks
Schools a
teacher
recommends
Schools close to
home
Even schools
that there
boyfriend or
girlfriend is attending
