Why College Explorations?

the college application process

unique talents and interests and offering an objective assessment

account your family's specific needs, time or financial constraints,

colleges and universities to which s/he may apply and suggest

child will grow both personally and intellectually
- Develop a list of schools representing a best "fit"
for your son or daughter and provide specific guidance on materials
and documents necessary to meet application requirements for
each
- Break the application process into manageable steps and then
supervise your child's progress through these steps
- Help your child develop self-advocacy skills by developing
a personal resume, overseeing application completion, and coaching
interview skills

son or daughter
- Reduce household stress throughout the application process
by providing an additional line of communication that supports
both you and your child
