We Provide College Admissions Counseling In San Jose, CA
Before starting the college application process, it is important to make a list of the schools you want to attend. Depending on the type of institution, the types of applications will vary. Those that use the Common Application, for example, will only need to submit one application. If your chosen schools use proprietary applications, you will have to submit them separately. Regardless of whether or not you plan on using a college application service, preparing a list of the schools you are interested in will help reduce stress and time spent on the application process.
Consider the importance of your college essay. A student's college essay is one of the top three factors that influence a college's admissions decision. Colleges value a well-written essay over class rank or admissions test scores. Therefore, make sure to give your essay the best effort. Working with an admissions counselor will make your college application process a lot easier.

I couldn’t have imagined applying to college without Tiffany’s help. I seriously looked forward to every meeting I had with her. She was not only my advisor, but also a great friend. She understood what I was trying to get across in my college application essays and was able to help me express myself in a thoughtful manner. I was able to get into the nursing program at my dream school, Dominican University, and Tiffany played a huge part in this life accomplishment. I still text her updates and am so happy to have a lifelong friend.

Properly Plan Your Path To Get To Your Dream College
The role of an admissions counselor is an important one in the admissions process. A good admissions counselor should be able to address your concerns and goals. They should have knowledge of a particular institution's curriculum and professors. If you have any questions about the school's curriculum or which professional courses would be best suited for you, the admissions counselor can help you sort out your issues. A good admissions counselor will also help you understand the school's faculty and work culture.
When hiring an admissions counselor, you should make sure they understand the process for applying to school. A good admissions counselor will be able to guide you through the application process, including the essay for the entrance exam. Besides writing an outstanding admissions essay, they'll also be able to help you build a strong profile. A strong profile includes good grades, extracurricular activities, and financial aid. Having a counselor who knows the college admissions process will make your life easier. Schedule your appointment with one of our counselors from College & Career Champion today!
