""I am very impressed with your business model. Your knowledge goes far beyond what a parent could learn by reading on the internet, attending a high school guidance counselor presentation, or checking out a book from the library. Your service list shows a level of expertise and personalization that makes it worthwhile for a family to invest in your services.""

Why use Professional College and Educational Consulting?

 

Our college counselors answer all your questions and concerns while providing ongoing advice, and support to give you exactly what you need through your college admissions process!

 

Quality and personalized college counseling for students becomes difficult regardless of the school counselor's expertise. In addition, budget cuts at many public institutions have forced schools to eliminate college counseling positions. As a result, college related resources are often unavailable, not current or limited. Students need to get the individualized attention and gain the knowledge they deserve to maximize opportunities.

 

  • The college admissions landscape is increasingly competitive and complex
  • Students must remain current as college application requirements at universities change from year to year

We advise students to utilize their school resources and develop relationships with teachers and administrators. Although school counselors are knowledgeable about the college admissions process, many have too many students and additional responsibilities to offer individualized attention to each student. The student to counselor ratio at many high schools in the U.S. is 500 to 1 or greater.

 

College Connections students receive individual action plans to emphasize their strengths. Using detailed assessments and evaluation, our consultants identify each student's specific needs along with their personal and academic goals.
