Grade point average? SAT/ACT scores? AP classes? Honor’s classes? College Prep classes? Community College classes? Extracurricular activities? Community service? These are some of the factors that colleges examine when evaluating an application. However, no matter what you have accomplished in high school, there are many colleges available for you!

Core College Counseling students are always “successful!”  Every student is  accepted by many colleges! All students learn how to face the daunting process of COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.  Students learn to discern between small, medium and large schools. They examine the similarities and differences between public and private institutions. They create strong, personal statements and application essays that are suitable to be used for many college applications. And, they learn how to find and apply for scholarships.
