Is Your Student a Good Fit for a College Advisor?
When you sign up for my services, you are purchasing a process and timeline in addition to my knowledge. Student commitment to the process and timeline allows him to complete work by Thanksgiving and to meet early deadlines. This is the secret to success and stress reduction and helps you maximize opportunities for scholarship consideration. To accomplish this, students need to treat my 32 hours of application support as an extra class between February of Junior year and Thanksgiving of Senior year. Student commitment to stay on schedule allows him to spread tasks out over time, stay out of crunch mode, prepare thoughtful and complete applications, meet deadlines ahead of schedule, and reduce emergencies.
To stay on schedule, students need to make time to meet with me and this includes two weekday after-school or evening meetings each month in fall of Senior year and a Sunday meeting once a month. Please evaluate your student’s extra-curricular commitments before engaging an admissions advisor to be sure they have the time to meet with their advisor.
In addition to having the time to meet during the week, students need to be able to take a To Do List and complete the tasks between meetings, set up their own appointments with me and contact me if they do not understand something. The student, not the parent, needs to do the work. Students are responsible for meeting their deadlines, which we will outline together.
Most students are able to handle this responsibility and respond very well to the structure I provide. I think you will find they mature so much through this process.
