College Fit Help

Back to school time! On top of that stress, Seniors will be working on their applications and Juniors will be starting their standardized test prep and creating their college lists. I can help minimize that stress. Please contact me for a complimentary initial consultation.

Now is the time for rising seniors to narrow down their list and start their applications. The Common and Coalition Applications are open! Contact me to find out how I can help you find your college fit!

Home Find Your Fit High school itself can be overwhelming with all the homework, quizzes, tests, SAT/ACT prep, activities and relationship drama. Then, add in the pressure of beginning to think about where you want to go to college and starting your applications and essays. With all the information

As summer approaches, many families are beginning to plan college tours. Use these visits to explore various campus sizes and locations. Will I prefer a small, intimate campus or the sprawling campus of a large state flagship? Am I more comfortable in a bustling city, in a quiet college town or on a remote self-contained campus. What’s the climate like on these campuses? Both the weather and culture! Use these initial trips to narrow down the possibilities, rather than trying to pick which campus is the “one.” Once you get a feel for the type of campus that you like, you can use the virtual tours offered by each of the colleges on your potential list to explore their individual campuses. As acceptances are received, you can consider an in person visit to those schools on your short list to help you make the final decision.
Another tip is to speak to as many current students as you can on your campus visits. Most students love their schools and are more than happy to discuss their pros and cons.

May is a busy time for college bound, high school students.

Seniors’ May 1st decision day is followed by the excitement of signing up for housing and summer orientation, finding roommates and continuing to plan for fall enrollment.

Juniors (and some sophomores) are focused on ACT and SAT prep and finalizing their class schedules for next year. That’s where May’s monthly tip from COLLEGE FIT HELP comes in. When selecting core academic classes, consider stretching yourself and choosing classes of increased rigor (honors or AP). Use electives to explore areas of interest that might turn into a major one day.
