College Admissions

More Than Standardized Tests

A college application includes a lot more than just SAT/ACT scores. Colleges will carefully assess your grades, course difficulty, essay strength, extracurricular activities, and professional recommendations. Students and parents often find that they require assistance with some aspect of the college application process, from the first step of sorting through hundreds of potential colleges, to the last step of deciding where to attend. While our team focuses more on academic success, course advise, and test preparation, we actually recommend a dedicated college counselor to help guide you through the college admissions process. If you’re interested in supplemental help with your college applications, there are a number of private college counselors throughout the Bay Area. These independent counselors can help your family navigate the competitive college selection process.
