Frequently Asked Questions:
What is an educational consultant?
An educational consultant is a professional advisor who assists students and their families through the college admissions process. By evaluating a student’s academic portfolio and assessing their interpersonal skills, educational consultants help match a student to the college or university that fits them best!
What are the benefits of working with an educational consultant?
Unlike school counselors, who often oversee a myriad of students, educational consultants give your child the individual attention they need throughout the daunting admissions process. More than that, educational consultants work as a support group for students and their families during an otherwise stressful undertaking.
Is an educational consultant a replacement for the school guidance counselor?
Absolutely not. Your school counselor will continue to play a vital role in the admissions process. School counselors are often required to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf, in addition to, student transcripts and supplemental pieces. Think of an educational consultant as another member of the student's team, all working together to assist your child in reaching their goals. It takes a village!
When should my child begin working with an educational consultant?
It is never too early or too late for your child to begin working with an educational consultant. However, by starting the application process early, your child will be afforded additional advantages such as: curriculum planning, testing advice and enrichment opportunities.
Can an educational consultant guarantee that my child will be admitted to a particular college?
In short, no. Members of a college admissions committee are the only individuals that can guarantee your child’s acceptance into college. What an educational consultant does do is ensure that your child’s admissions portfolio is so desirable that these committees can’t say no!
