Most parents don’t even think about the value of the high school counselor. And most counselors are swamped with other responsibilities as well. All the more reason to forge a relationship with them. If they don’t know, they can’t help.

I think it’s more about being so busy and wanting to help everyone, but not being sure what individual student’s need in the college process. But, I’ll take be the squeaky wheel! Come see your counselor, parents should call today and make an appointment so we can spend some time with you. We’d love to answer your questions and help, that’s why we became high school counselors. Ask questions please!

We would add one item which is contemplating a social media strategy in support of college admissions next fall.

Rather than fearing the negative outcomes of a forgotten photo or post, students should view their social media as a potential differentiating asset and an extension of their application. Now is a great time for juniors to consider how to build and enhance their social media profiles to set themselves apart from other qualified candidates.
