College Admission Consulting • College Search • Application Development • Essay Assistance

It's hard to imagine that the child who reluctantly got on the school bus the first day of kindergarten is now preparing to go to college.

How do we start to identify colleges? Will my child’s application “put their best foot forward?” Are there colleges that will recognize my child’s unrealized potential? My child hasn’t decided on a career, so how can we pick the right college? How can we avoid the external pressures of community, family and friends? If you have asked these or similar questions, you are not alone.

College Planning Services, Inc. begins by carefully interviewing students and parents. We assess the student’s strengths, goals, desires and needs as well as the family’s objectives, wishes and requirements. Some of the factors that we consider are:

• The size of the college
• The programs offered
• The campus and living environment
• Educational philosophies and style
• Geographic proximities
• Diversity of student population
• Religion

These are just a few. What are the rest? We identify them and help families assess each one. Unlike what you’ve heard, the college admission process need not be overly stressful. In fact it could—and should—be a rewarding experience for both the student and the family.
