Freshmen & Sophomores

The college process starts prior to actually filling out college applications. When colleges review a student's profile they are making an assessment based on academic and extracurricular performance throughout high school. It's never too early to start thinking ahead. I will work with you and your child and map out a strategic plan throughout high school. This will insure a smooth transition when it comes time to for your child to make the right college choices.

This plan includes:
     -Counseling your child to emphasize how important early choices are and how that will impact on future college options.
     -Helping your child choose the appropriate courses to take while in high school.
     -Discussing test preparatory planning and strategies.
     -Reviewing and recommending extra curricular activities based on the student's interests.
     -Facilitating the creation of an extracurricular profile, which will include: sports activities, summer programs, and community service experience.

In our initial meeting I will examine your child's courses and academic performance. We will discuss current extracurricular activities and projected interests. We will assess future goals and ways to further enhance your child's profile. I will also analyze your child's report card, grades, and courses in progress. I will make suggestions to help you understand the way a college admissions staff .looks at. your child's profile.
At the end of the school year we will review grades and the student's progress for the year. We will discuss academic and extracurricular goals for the following year. Test preparation including PSAT's SAT I's SAT II's and ACTs will be apart of our strategy.

Finally, we will review preliminary college interests as well as preparing for possible college campus visits.
