Last week, I encouraged a new family to consider a college they were lukewarm about because one of my former student was having an amazing experience there. The mom said, "I can't believe that you keep in touch with students from three years ago!" "Of course!" I answered, "We work hard together and build a relationship. I don't let that go just because they went off to college! Believe it or not, some of them still reach out to me!"
The supportive relationship you build with a college counselor doesn't disappear after your child leaves for college. Below is a Forbes article that focuses on how to bond with your school counselor. It will help you develop a great working relationship with your independent counselor as well.

Find out how College Process Counseling "de-stresses the college process" for students and families who work with me. Thanks to all who helped make the website look great by sharing beautiful pictures of your kids. I also appreciate the college reviews from current students, many of whom are happy to connect with high school students to give more info. Of course, many thanks to those of you who have written such kind testimonials over the years!
It's not too late!
The list below shows colleges with application deadlines of January 15 or later. It includes colleges that use a rolling admission method. That means they have a long window of time to apply, and they respond to applications as they get them instead of waiting till all applications are in.
