Consultation
For parents and students who wish to discuss college options. Prior to the consultation the student and
parents will be asked to fill out assessments, and provide a history of the student which includes performance
(grades or transcript), standardized testing, academic schedule, extracurricular activities and community
service. We will discuss your student’s personality, interests, any learning differences or challenges, and the
assessments will help me understand what type of programs, majors, financial aid, and college environments
might be best for the student and the family. Students who find a good fit between themselves and the
college they attend are more likely to have a successful college experience, and are better prepared to take on
their careers. After a discussion with student and parents, a strategy for the college search and application
process may be devised.
