"The work I have done with College & Company has not only excited me
about the college process but has given me an idea of where to start.
I went from being clueless, to knowing what colleges best fit my interests
and personality. This was all achieved in a very positive and relaxed
environment. I now know what type of college would be the best fit for
me and can't wait to start visiting schools in the spring." - SSHS Student

What is a college admissions consultant? And why hire one?
A College Admissions Consultant works privately with students and families outside of school, building upon the important work that's already happening with a student's Guidance Counselor. Educational consultants offer time, resources, and information which is helpful to many families for a wide variety of their own reasons. Those reasons might include: seeking additional information, wanting a "neutral party" to work with their teen, staying organized, strengthening the application, building the college list, and seeking assistance in special circumstances. Frankly, many families do just fine on their own, and even enjoy the challenge. Others feel that some extra help is needed. It all depends upon your objectives, and how you feel about approaching the college admissions process. Just as applying to college is about making a match, so is working with an educational consultant. Read more about the benefits of hiring an independent educational consultant here.
