Your Roadmap to College Admissions
The importance of an organized, personalized educational plan cannot be overemphasized. We assist families to make informed decisions whether they are choosing the right college, deciding whether to transfer from one college to another, or considering graduate school. We use the Whole Person Model to match students to their ideal college match.
Knowing your abilities is an important part of the college admission process. We use the Highlands Ability Battery Assessment to help our students discover their natural abilities. Studying the pattern of abilities that are areas of strength for an individual reveals important clues as to the kinds of learning environments, academic subjects, and potential careers that are well-suited to build on those aptitudes.
​
Students who work with an independent college counselor have lower rates of dropout, higher graduation rates, and are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen major. Let us help relieve some of the stress and pressure during this important phase of life.
