Why Hire a Consultant?

A Higher Education Counselor can provide you with personalized assistance as you uncover all your options, make the best choices, navigate the admission process and maintain success through your first year of college.   They can supplement the work of school counselors or provide an additional perspective. As your consultant, I will

• Suggest ways to strengthen your “admission profile” with appropriate activities.
  
• Provide criteria for selecting potential colleges.
  
• Show you how to organize college materials so that informed decisions can be made.
  
• Offer guidance on making the most of your college visits.
  
• Consult with you on test choices, test preparations, and test times.
  
• Assist you to devise a detailed and comprehensive application time-line.
  
• Review applications and essays.
  
• Make appropriate referals to other resources.

"Far too many incoming students choose their schools for all the wrong reasons."

My mission with Directions To College is to provide students with the personal guidance needed to navigate all options and make thoroughly considered choices.

"The admissions process in America today has become so commercialized and competitive that it makes 'shopping for the right school' seem like a high pressure game show."

The amount of time, research, and steps involved in considering and applying to college is overwhelming for the inexperienced. An expert's knowledge and experience can greatly ease the pressure.

"Education is a process, not a commodity."

A good consultant can make your journey the enriching, enjoyable experience it should be.
