Comprehensive College Counseling Process
SkyBridge Educational Partners are well versed in the college process. Our consultants have decades of experience working in a range of institutional settings, including public and private secondary schools in the US and UK, along with college admissions professionals. The Comprehensive Plan includes working with students and parents to build an accurate student interest profile. Based on a student’s interests and abilities, we then build a master plan that will have a standardized testing plan, a list of likely, match and reach schools, and an overall application timeline. Once that has taken shape, we will guide the students through their applications (Common Application, Coalition Application, UCAS, etc.). This will include developing a personal essay and support with supplemental questions.
Once applications are submitted, SEP will work with students with appropriate follow up with schools and also strategy once decisions are released. Other common topics covered include course selection, summer study and activities, and college visits and interviews. The Comprehensive Plan is designed to guide students and families each step of the way, to demystify the process and have students approaching their college search with excitement and confidence. The Comprehensive Plan typically takes 30 to 35 hours of direct time meeting with the student and family and indirect time responding to emails, researching colleges and universities, and editing essays, etc., but varies by individual student’s needs.
