Congratulations! You are in college – your phase2. Hopefully you are stretching, exploring, thriving, and having a full college experience. As you well know, college is expensive, but your degree will be an indispensable asset for your future and career successes. You have many choices and opportunities, so choose wisely, and take advantage of this unique time in your life as you pave the way for your future options post-graduation.

Why Hire a College Coach?

Your perfect path comes from you. If needed, we’ll help you find that path. We assist and navigate you smoothly through each step of the journey toward your goals.

Our coaches offer invaluable tips for student success, time management, and goal setting. We also help you choose your major/career path and prepare for internships and landing a job. We’ll help you plan so that you can graduate within four years to save both time and money. Note that only 38% of collegiate students graduate in four years — the majority take six years.

If you are looking to transfer to another college, – you are not alone. According to a 2010 report by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, nearly one in three students transfer. Once you have determined that it makes sense to transfer, ensure you create a smart fit college list, which incorporates your major and career interests. College is a unique opportunity in life. Make sure you are attending a school where you can have a positive college and educational experience.

Our Coaching Style

Creating a well-thought out college list is one of the most important and complex steps in the college admissions process. According to a 2010 report by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, nearly one in three students transfer. Transfers are costly in terms of credits and time lost, not to mention having to start over socially and readjust to college life. Therefore, it is critical to create a personalized smart fit college list so that you will be excited about every school. Creating the list begins with self-discovery–then we help you choose possible majors and careers. Next, our coaches help you find your smart-fit college criteria through assessments and discussions. Finally, all of these filters and criteria are used to produce a complete list of schools that fall within three categories: reach (hard to get into), target, and likely schools (where acceptance and scholarships are likely). We help you greatly decrease your chances of being part of the transfer student statistics, while increasing the likelihood of attending a school where you can have a positive college and educational experience.

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Personal Statement / College Essays” tab_font_select=”default” body_font_select=”default”]

Your personal statement and college essays are extremely important components of your application, along with your college list. Essays often replace personal interviews, which frequently are not possible due to the high numbers of college applicants. Your essay provides the admissions officer a chance to get to know you through your written voice. Your essay is your opportunity to share who you are, while making a favorable and unique impression. Our coaches will help you brainstorm topics and approaches to help you get started; later, we offer a second set of expert eyes for writing that is flawless, and memorably expressive.

Colleges often automatically award merit scholarships that are based on your test scores, college application, resume, andessays. However, many colleges also offer additional scholarships that provide significant financial and/or program opportunities (i.e. honors or scholars). We will help you determine if you are a good candidate for full-ride scholarships, that if awarded, can be applied to the school of your choice. Our coaches will help you find and complete timely and polished scholarship applications to improve your chances of free money awards, whether just a few hundred dollars or tens of thousands of dollars. Scholarship application requirements vary; in addition to an application form, most require essays,resumes, and letters of recommendation.

Whether you are already accepted to a college or currently attending college, taking a break from your academics can make sense. Gap years or semesters, provide students time to figure out or test majors/careers, and a chance to broaden skills, while completing service learning projects. College admissions can usually be deferred as admissions officers and employers alike look favorably upon meaningful service learning work. There are numerous domestic and international programs, with varying costs and competitiveness. We also help students create their own gap opportunities. Find out if a gap program makes sense for you.
