Stay in the Know...The college-planning services typically offered by an educational consultant include: 1. College search/selection advice: Matching a student to the college where he or she will fit in best and thrive is probably the consultant's most important job. Your insider knowledge about the student body, faculty and atmosphere of various educational institutions, which you'll glean from campus visits, will help you steer students toward the institution where they'll... be most successful. 2. Admissions process insight: Consultants share their behind-the-scenes knowledge of what it takes to be admitted to the most competitive colleges to give students the best chance of getting in. 3. Application assistance: Consultants often help students fill in the blanks, then follow up with their student charges to make sure the applications are filed in time and with the correct application fee. 4. Admission essay assistance: Consultants won't write an essay for a student, but they will look it over and offer advice on what information should go into it and how to make it more effective. 5. College visit assistance: Consultants in the know can keep parents informed about college open houses and give advice on how to make the most of their college visits. Evaluation of high school activities: By reviewing a high school student's transcripts, test scores, extracurricular activities and other accomplishments, a consultant can advise a student on the right moves to make while still in high school, from taking rigorous college prep courses to participating in particular activities or being tutored to improve grades. By being able to show a history of excellence in various activities can make a college admissions officer take notice, thus improving a student's chances of being admitted. #EDFINCollegePlanning #Admissions #FinancialAid #SAT #ACT #Essays #FREEConsultation https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/190442 See more
