Working With Me
Through a comprehensive package beginning in grades 10 or 11, I work closely with students to support them and their families throughout the college search. Collaborating with students and parents allows for a transparent working relationship, where students and parents are able to raise questions throughout the entire search, application, and decision-making process. A sampling of our work in each year includes the following:
Sophomore Year
-
Discuss academic, extra-curricular, and career interests
-
Recommend connected opportunities to pursue passions and leadership positions in an authentic way
-
Review academic record and advise on course selection based on areas of interest and academic rigor, leading to a strong yet manageable course load
-
When applicable, review neuropsychological evaluations and IEPs/504 Plans to advise on accommodations and colleges with ideal programs
Junior Year
-
Work collaboratively with each student and family to build a comprehensive college list that is best suited to each student
-
Educate students and families on balanced college lists and best practices to research colleges, ensuring students feel empowered in their college search
-
Assist students to prepare for college visits and evaluate college fit following tours and interviews
-
Organize standardized testing schedule and refer student to well-matched tutors
Senior Year
-
Brainstorm essay topics for personal statement and school-specific supplemental essays, supporting the complete writing and editing process
-
Finalize each student’s college list and application strategy & timeline
-
Assist each student in organizing all application materials
-
Provide families with resources for the financial aid and scholarship application process
-
Compare acceptances, merit scholarships, and financial aid packages to support each student and family in making their final college decision
The college journey continues beyond admission. I intentionally support students as they transition into college by preparing each student for differences between high school and college, connecting with various support services prior to the start of freshman year, and empowering each student to self-advocate to ensure their needs are met once enrolled. My goal is for students to begin their first year feeling prepared, supported, and confident in their ability to succeed.
