Application Support

APPLICATION SUPPORT FOR RISING AND CURRENT SENIORS

Application Outline High school seniors are often juggling five to six classes, homework, and activities on top of the college application process. It can feel extremely overwhelming for students and parents to manage the many requirements and deadlines of the process and feel confident that they are not missing a step in the process. Our independent educational consultants help alleviate college application season anxiety by providing a detailed Application Outline customized for each student. We discuss deadlines, to-dos, and strategy, developing a plan that fits your student’s schedule and application list. With the help of an amazing software system specific to independent educational consultants’ work, your students will also be connected and reminded of their responsibilities by text and email.

Essay Development The college essay is not really an essay, it’s a personal statement. It’s a story that gives admissions committees another look into your student’s life. It adds color and depth and context to an application. The personal statement, along with other supplemental essays, are often the most complex part of the application process. We’ve developed discovery and coaching techniques to help students tell their story in an impactful way.

Application Coaching Along the way, we provide coaching and guidance around interview preparation, letters of recommendation, financial aid and scholarship deadlines. We discuss strategies and help students decide what application deadlines are the best choice for them. We teach students how to demonstrate interest and help them understand how building relationships with colleges will help them learn more about their colleges. We encourage attending campus visits and teach students how to make the best use of them.

Decision Meetings In the spring of your student’s senior year, we help your family decipher the often confusing financial aid awards to better understand the financial commitment. When students have applied to colleges that are all strong fits, what could be better than having multiple great options when college acceptances come in? After building a relationship with your student for a year or two, we love rounding out our process by helping students celebrate their growth, maturity, acceptances and final decision.

At College Connectors, our goal is to help students understand the search and application processes for their chosen institutions, what their financial aid options are, and who to turn to for advice is vital for increasing their access to higher education.
