As a counselor, my main goal is to help students and families have choices when it comes to getting into schools. I work with my families to find the schools that fit for my students, that have the right programs for them, that have environments that make them feel at home and inspire them, and that are available at a cost that does not leave them with unsustainable debt.
As a test prep guy, my goal is to use whichever test we are taking to enhance the application. You are not a test score, but your test score can help to set you apart, so if you’re going to test, let’s make it worth your time.
Finally. I understand how stressful this all is. I have already helped my oldest son through the college admissions process (along with the amazing Jessica McGlothlin!), and am currently working with my second son. They are totally different young people- different extracurriculars, different classes, different personalities, different needs. They have different timelines and different college lists. Just like each of my students. So if you think you need help with this process to give your child the best chances and to maintain your own peace of mind, I get it. Let’s work together.
