Why Use A Consultant?

Finding the right college is one of the most important decisions you will make. A student’s college experience helps shape who he/she/they is and what careers he/she/they may pursue. A consultant is not just concerned with being accepted to colleges, but more importantly, with finding the right match. Unfortunately, many school based college counselors are too busy to give students the individual attention they need. On average, U.S. public high school students receive an average of 38 minutes of personal, college advising over four years (source: U.S. Dept. of Education). That is not enough. The college admissions is more complicated than ever before and students need help to navigate the process.
