With the total cost of private college totaling over a quarter million dollars in the northeast, the pressure to find the right fit is larger than ever. Families can rise to the challenge of fit by utilizing the resources available to learn about college options appropriate for their students.
There is not a one size fits all model. Every student comes with different talents, different academic strengths, and different academic interests. Juniors are in guidance seminars to learn how to effectively find colleges and universities that match up with their academic abilities and interests as well as their personal preferences for community environment, location, and personal hobbies and passions. Yet, it is equally important for students to seek out their guidance counselors for individual meetings to have more personalized in-depth conversations about the college process. It is extremely common to find families coming in and meeting with counselors so that everyone is on the same page with a clear plan moving forward.
