Selecting Final College
Applying to college is the first opportunity for students to choose their educational environment. Some students find the choice between offers of admission very straightforward, while others struggle with their options. We walk the student through the process of determining which college is the best match for them, providing encouragement and support every step of the way. We assist families in comparing those sometimes cryptic financial aid award letters to determine the best value and financial implications of college options. We also provide strategic guidance for communications with financial aid offices.

“We and [our son] simply could not have gotten here without you. You spent the time to “get” him and connect with him; you uncovered a host of schools that were right for him that we didn’t even know existed; you stuck with him, challenging him, advocating for him, caring about him through the process from selecting options to making a sound decision on his final choice; and while there was no question that he was your client and your priority, you were a thoughtful partner, guide and sounding board for me throughout.”
