Less Stress for Parents & Students
College Admissions is more complicated and competitive than ever. We all wish this process were less stressful than it is. Still, the fact is that there are more applications than ever to colleges, better qualified applicants, and a feeling of uncertainty about the entire process. It is also a challenging time developmentally in a young person’s life, compounded with applying to colleges and thinking about the future. We approach the process one step at a time, bit by bit. Knowledge of the nuances of and experience with college admissions, as well as a carefully developed project planning program, eases stress for students and families, allowing for more enjoyment of the high school years together. A college counselor is a welcome resource for students and families, and our digital college counseling platform helps connect you as a parent to the process.
Quality Connection
Successful admission begins with the counselor-student relationship, through in depth learning about your student, then working to find the college or graduate school that provides the best educational, social, professional, and personal growth environment. We spend hours with your student and family getting to the heart of personality, interests, abilities, qualifications, and aspirations. We provide personalized attention and flexible scheduling while being committed to finding colleges that are the right fit for your student. It’s not only about being accepted – more importantly, it’s about thriving at the institution that is the right fit.
Life Skills Development
Through our work together, your student will learn and develop many essential life skills to enable them to fly from your nest and transition more smoothly to meet the expectations of college and living away from home. Their opportunity to learn adulting skills and build executive functioning abilities is ongoing through accountability, goal setting, time management, and meeting agreed upon deadlines. Together we set and manage expectations, turn disappointments into opportunities, and develop students’ confidence to know and reflect on their own values and strengths.
The Power of Teamwork
As part of TRIO, a unique college counseling collaborative, our students benefit from access to the additional expertise of Kathryn Crosby, also based in Southern California, and Ann Bartron Morris in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our complementary skill sets and experience provide the most full-bodied advice to our clients. Consultation and collective efforts behind the scenes produce optimal results for your student. We have extensive, first-hand knowledge of colleges and graduate schools, big and small, around the country. This personal insight gives your family a much deeper understanding than any catalog or website can convey. Because we are familiar with many institutions, we can present applicants with a much more comprehensive selection of possibilities and help weigh the many factors that go into considering a college.
