A Wellness Approach to College Applications and Beyond
The Goal
My goal goes beyond taking the stress out of college applications. My goal is to make college applications and college life coaching a reflective, rewarding, and enlightening experience for my clients.
The Challenge
Today's culture of college counseling and applications pressures students to map out their whole futures, navigate redundant application systems, learn their family's finances, and write multiple personal essays, all while managing their senior year classes. Students are told that college will be immeasurably harder than high school without learning what college will actually be like. Colleges fill students' mailboxes with tantalizing promotional materials that say little about what they really have to offer. College & career counselors at high schools are understaffed and have too many students to help at once.
The Solution
My program takes a holistic approach to the college transition experience, guiding students through a structured process of reflection, goal setting, and task management. My portfolio of services begins with students' very first inquiry into their future in higher education and ends with college life coaching through their last day of freshman year. I'm also committed to making private college admissions coaching more affordable by keeping my rates at least 50% lower than many competitors.
