Comprehensive College Service

The Comprehensive College Service provides ongoing guidance and help throughout the college application process with unlimited meetings, telephone calls and e-mails. It begins with meetings with the family to accomplish the following:

• Review the student's academic record, experiences, courses and activities
• Discuss educational goals and interests and the overall process
• Assess standardized testing, which tests to take, timetable and how to prepare
• Identify any special talents, abilities or needs
• Formulate a list of schools appropriate to the student's abilities and goals considering size, location, environment and academics
• Clarify the importance of compiling a list of schools that represent a mix of selectivity
• Advise how to and when to visit colleges and how the interview is conducted
• Practice interviews
• Explore options for summer activities (if appropriate)
• Create a calendar for college contacts

Once work on applications begins, Bobbi guides the student through every step of the process.

• Assess appropriateness of early applications (Early Decision, Early Action)
• Advice on organization and timelines
• Resume development
• Brainstorm essay topics that reflect the student's individuality
• Manage application deadlines and working with the student in proofreading and critiquing the application.

Dedicated to the student's happiness and success, I am available to help out following acceptance and final selection to school. Each student receives my personal attention and therefore enrollment is limited.


Consultations
Bobbi will meet with both the student and parent to review the student's interests, academic record, goals, extracurricular activities, summer experiences, testing and course selection. The consultation will cover the overall college admission process and other relevant topics of your choice. Consultations are based on 90-minute sessions.
