Academic Advisory & Career Planning
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We want students to find their best-fit and feel empowered during the college selection process. Our mission is to collaborate with students and parents in the often overwhelming task of choosing programs, identifying colleges, and applying for admission. We offer assistance, guidance, and resources to help applicants make informed choices. With enthusiastic support, expert advice, and reliable/timely communication, we help our students meet their goals.
OUR COMMITMENT
We provide accurate information and guidance to alleviate the stress involved with higher education planning. Our services will not guarantee admission for the student to any particular program or institution. Our essay assistance and interview preparation encourages students to have confidence in their own voice and representation. We do not compose essays or answers to interview questions. These services focus on idea development, organizational strategies, and stylistic conventions. We want the student to be confident in their ability to express themselves and articulate their goals. We focus on helping the student identify their strengths, address their weaknesses, and work hard toward achieving their higher education objectives.
