Three main ways David helps families through the transition process.
Selection
In the Selection phase, David meets with both the student and the parents to identify which colleges are appropriate academic and social-emotional matches. Families learn about the admissions process and begin to understand the student’s expectations and priorities
Application
In the Application phase, David empowers students to find their voice, speak their truth, and present themselves in the best possible light. Emphasis is on the Common Application essays, the list of activites. The goal is to assuage anxiety, dispel misconceptions and make the application process stress free.
Acceptance
David continues to work with the student and their family to determine the best fit of all the wonderful options.
Choosing an Educational Consultant
Families frequently ask why they should consider an independent admissions counselor. Some feel that they require more time than the admissions counselors in their high schools can devote. Others acknowledge that an objective perspective is beneficial.
Many of my families agree that an independent counselor can help parents and students agree on the best strategy for choosing and applying to college. Evoking consensus within the family so that the process is smooth is also the job of an independent counselor.
David has toured hundreds of colleges and universities. So you don’t have to.
