We Offer Innovative Solutions
Perhaps more than anything, both students and families need moral support during this process. We have yet to meet a family not needing this type of support. Students and parents can become anxious and need to be reassured that everything will be okay. Sometimes students procrastinate and need someone other than parents to drive the process, keep them organized, and hold them to deadlines. Questions arise and the family needs credible and honest answers. The relationship between students, parents, and us as consultants is critical. This is more than just about “getting things done.”
As consultants for college counseling at Westhill Academy, we are working directly with students. These are just some of the ways we work with students as they go through the college application process:
• Get to know the student to understand their abilities, skills, talents, interests, personality, and learning style
• Suggest appropriate universities and guide the student through the research phase
• Advise on appropriate testing strategies and timelines for the application process
• Assist students in telling their story throughout the application so that their uniqueness will shine
• Help to plan how to make the most of their college visits, whether it be virtual or in person
• Guide students through the college essay essay writing process in order to create a memorable story
• Work with the family on finalizing the college list
• Discuss the financial considerations of their college choices and available options for financial assistance
• Coach students on the college interview process
• Help students meet all application deadlines
• Meet with students to help them finalize their choices after acceptances are received
• Advise students through the transition to college and setting them up for success
How Do We College Placements?
There are roughly three phases to our process for placements.
1. Assessment
No matter the situation, the first step is getting to know the student and the family as well as we can. We do this by assessing the needs of the student, their priorities, and the family values. We do this through interviews with the student, family, and key professionals; student and parent questionnaires; informal and formal surveys; testing; and a school record review. We have a worldwide network of referrals for additional evaluations as needed.
2. Working phase
Once we know the student and their needs as well as strengths, we can begin to make recommendations based on their goals. We help the student and/or family through all the steps of the process, from identifying schools, programs, or colleges and universities, to applying and accepting the offer of admission. When appropriate, we can facilitate conversations with schools and programs to ascertain the placement.
3. Post placement phase
After the student starts school, we remain involved for the duration of the contract to ensure the student makes a smooth transition. Depending on the family’s needs, we can remain involved long-term and provide long-term support and guidance.College Placements
