It’s time to shift your mindset from,
“Where have you helped kids get into college?” to,
“How will you understand who my child is and help them strategize to find the best fit and be competitive at that school?”
As a parent, you naturally want the best for your child’s future, especially when it comes to their college education.
One of the most common questions I receive is when parents are determining if I’m a good fit as their child’s college counselor is, “Where have you helped kids get into college?”
Ask the question that will get you the results you want…
While it’s a valid question, I believe there’s an even more important one to ask: “How will you understand who my child is and help them strategize to find the best fit and be competitive at that school?”
At Vantage Counseling, our focus goes beyond just getting students into top-ranked schools.
We are committed to understanding each student’s unique strengths, passions, and aspirations to ensure they find the college that best aligns with their goals and personality. Here’s how we achieve this:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with an in-depth assessment to understand your child’s academic achievements, extracurricular activities, personal interests, and career aspirations. This holistic view allows us to identify their strengths and areas for growth.
- Personalized Strategy Development: Based on the assessment, we create a personalized strategy that highlights your child’s unique qualities. This includes selecting a balanced list of colleges where they can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
- Competitive Application Preparation: We guide your child through every step of the application process, from crafting compelling personal statements to preparing for interviews. Our goal is to help them present their best self to admissions committees.
- Ongoing Support and Guidance: The journey to college can be overwhelming. We provide continuous support, ensuring your child stays on track and feels confident throughout the process. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide reassurance.
- Empowering Students: At Vantage Counseling, we empower students to take ownership of their college journey. We encourage them to explore their interests, set ambitious goals, and develop the skills needed for future success.
Our approach has helped countless students not only gain admission to prestigious colleges but also find institutions where they truly belong and can flourish. By focusing on the right question—how we can best support and understand your child—we ensure a more meaningful and successful college application experience.
