Academic
and Extracurricular Assessment:
We
will review your transcripts, test scores, and skills in order to determine
a path that is right for you. This information is helpful in determining
your best choices for academic major and selection of college. High school
Juniors are often unclear in their career goals.We offer career testing
which is beneficial in finding the path that is right for you.
College Search:
Our college search begins with matching you with the
right college. Each school has its own distinct personality. It is important
to locate a school that will meet your needs and fit with your goals. The
college experience is much more than attending classes. It is a combination
of academics, socializing, and overall atmosphere. Each of these is
necessary for a well-rounded education and in providing the student with an
enjoyable and successful college experience. Our professional counseling
will assist you in locating the college that is right for you.
College Visits:
Visiting the colleges is a must. I don't know of
anyone who buys a car without checking it out first. The school you
attend can determine the level of success you achieve and affect your
future academic and career goals. It is imperative that you visit the
colleges on your list. Remember, it is as important for you to interview
the potential client as it is for them to interview you. College
Consultants of New England will assist you in organizing visits. For
those parents and students that feel they would like further assistance,
we will make your travel arrangements and schedule your tours;
additional charges will apply.
Special Talent Portfolio:
Students with special talents: musicians, athletes, dancers, actors,
mathematicians, scientists, writers, artists, etc., often require
additional materials be sent to prospective colleges. We will assist
students in reviewing individual requirements and timelines for
auditions and/or additional application materials.
Essays and
Personal Statements:
The essay is a key component to the application process. A good essay is
well written and makes a statement of who you are. The goal of a good
essay, a dynamic essay, is to catch the eye of the admission team and
have them say, "Wow, this is an outstanding person." Your essay must
stand out from others and grab the attention of the admission officers,
What this means, to you the student, is spending the time needed to
assess your skills, goals, qualifications, and to speak and write from
your heart. Through your essay, you must let them know that you will be
an asset to their academic institution. We guide you through the process
by reviewing and assisting you in fine tuning your essay or personal
statement.
Letters of Recommendation:
Who is the right person to write a recommendation? We will help you
contact the right persons, based on the schools you select, to write
your letters of recommendations. We will help keep you on task by
tracking the status of the letters. There is no wiggle room when it
comes to these essential letters.They must be complete and delivered in
a timely manner.
Interviews:
As
one of our student clients, we will conduct several mock interviews with
you. The more practice you have, the easier it will be for you and the
greater the possibility of success will be when it comes to the actual
interviews. Practice does make perfect and the interview is your time to
shine in person. It is imperative to be well prepared.
Application Submission:
College
Consultants of New England will track your progress during the
application process. We will teach you our proven method which will help
you not only with your college application, but can extend into other
areas of your life in meeting deadlines. This process is designed to be
a training and learning tool for the student, who must realize the
importance of timeliness and punctuality at college and in their future
careers.
Post Acceptance:
Once you have been accepted to the school of your
choice, we assist you in creating a plan for your academic years. An
experienced counselor will review course options for your chosen major.
This eliminates the guess work and confusion students often encounter in
deciding which courses to take. We help you select the classes that are
relevant for your degree. This provides you with the peace of mind that
you will be enrolling in courses that are required for your major as
well as enjoyable electives that will count toward your degree.
