The College Admissions Environment
Increases in the number of seniors applying for college and the applications each of them submit has intensified the competitive environment encompassing the college admissions process. Constantly changing admissions requirements, particularly those attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, have introduced significant confusion to that process. Add to this the academic, curricular, aesthetic and social differences between colleges and universities, and you have a process that can become quite onerous and stressful.

For example, what colleges can you afford to send your child to… where does he or she fit the best academically or socially… will his or her colleges of choice provide the best path to postgraduate study or employment opportunities?

College Admissions Counseling Information for Students
The college admissions process is a time of reflection, decision and action. You need to take a personal assessment of what is really important to you and then make the sometimes difficult choices needed to convert your desires into reality.
​
Some of the things you need to consider and act upon? What high school courses should I take to make my transcript the best it can be…what extracurricular activities should I participate in to make me a more attractive candidate…which colleges should I apply to…how do I complete the college application…should I go Early Decision or Early Action…what topic should I choose for my essay and what should I say…what do I need to do to prepare for college visits and interviews. The list goes on and on.
