All Paths Lead to College…

Seeking the Appropriate College Challenge!

COLLEGE SELECTION:

Any person can browse through “The Best Colleges” books or visit the library to search through one of the many college selection manuals available to create a list of colleges. However, the question to ask is: what makes one college more suitable for each individual student? In order to specifically match students to colleges, we review student strengths and weaknesses, listen to both what students and parents are seeking and understand the personality of each student to match him/her to a college. Using all this data, we then create a specific college/student profile in order to compile an individualized college list for the student to investigate. Some of the factors we consider include:

• Philosophy of particular colleges vs. values sought by student.
• Types of educational programs offered.
• Retention rates.
• Academic assistance programs.
• Matching student profile to college requirements.
• Distance/size and make-up of college.
• Matching students to pertinent college scholarships.
• Social/student/athletic activities.

In our opinion, appropriate college selection is the most important aspect of attending the right college and is crucial to each student's success at college. Let our experts guide you.
