What Services Can I Expect From A Private College Counselor?
Are you looking for help with college admissions but have no idea where to start? The difficulty in looking for an independent college counselor lies primarily in the diverse range of services offered. Here is a list of the different types of admissions services available, and what to expect from each, ranging from limited to comprehensive service providers:
Why Do I Need A College Counselor?
I often hear people unfamiliar with my work ask, "If I can just submit these essays and applications myself, so why would I need help?" Of course, you always have the option of completing anything in life by yourself-- but when you want the best results, it’s best to consult an expert.
Applications Made Easy
How can I manage all of my applications when universities require different application systems, different forms, and different deadlines? Now you can. Use the My Applications module to track your reaches, fits, and safeties all on one page. Strategize and plan like no other.
Data. Glorious Data.
What kind of college do I want? Wouldn't it be easy to make decisions if I had all of the data available? Well now you do. Sort a comprehensive database of the national universities, liberal arts colleges, and technical/art schools--by rank, by scores, by tuition, and by student experiences.
Know Thy Progress
How far along am I? There is nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowledge of exactly where you are in the admissions process. With the easy-to-read My Progress module, you will see bars that represent your completion percentage and your remaining tasks, so that you can gauge your time appropriately.
The Big Picture: Who Am I?
What makes me different? What are my values? What’s my niche? Find the answer to these questions when you use the My Profile module to integrate all of your academic, extracurricular, and personal characteristics in one place.
Access Your Files From Anywhere
Need to print your essays, forms, resume, transcript, test scores but forgot them at home? No problem. With the My Files module, you will always be able to download and backup important documents.
