Right School
If the idea of researching and learning about colleges feels like strolling a huge buffet table, you are right. So many choices — where do you begin?
We start the
college search process not by looking at colleges, but by first looking at the
student.
To design a list of colleges that match with
student skills; interests; goals; social fit; affordability, we start with a thorough conversation:
- Where does the student want to attend college?
- How competitive an environment are they seeking?
- How close to or far from home is the student comfortable attending college?
- What kind of academic or pre-professional experience is the student seeking?
- What are the student’s goals beyond college?
- What is the appropriate social fit in which the student is likely to thrive?
- What extracurricular involvements are important for the student?
- Does the student have learning challenges that require a certain level of support?
- What kind of campus “vibe” feels right for the student?
- How does cost of college or merit award fit into the mix?
