Confucius said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." We feel the same way about working with college bound students — making the first step of pre-selection preparation is critical to matching their talents and career ambitions with the right college or university.

At this stage, we engage the student in a mutual exchange of information to better understand their goals and aspirations. With their help, we develop a personalized student admissions profile, which brings together important factors that college admissions staff consider with each application, including measures of academic record, performance on college entrance exams, participation in extracurricular activities, leadership qualities and community service.

We will also:

• Assess potential career paths.
  
  
• Provide a comprehensive list of criteria for selecting potential colleges.
  
  
• Review information about college transfer programs.
  
  
• Discuss options for study abroad programs.
  
  
• Identify important considerations for special needs students on accommodating programs.
  
  
• Weigh the options for Bachelor degree completion programs.
  
  
• Explore continuing education requirements for career advancement.
  
  
• Explore program choices for graduate/professional schools.
