Why should you hire a college entrance consultant?

This is an often-asked question by many parents who are satisfied with the counseling services offered by their local high school. However, while many high school guidance counselors offer a wide range of experience and knowledge, most counselors have large caseloads that prevent them from spending much time with each student. The college process is lengthy and in-depth, and requires more than one appointment. An independent college entrance consultant is more accessible and is able to provide the personal attention and hands-on assistance that most students and their families will need.

The college process requires a lot of time, personal reflection, and effort from the student. Finding colleges that are the right fit is a daunting task that a college entrance consultant can make much easier and less stressful. Abby Siegel & Associates, LLC works with each family to help narrow choices and provide an objective viewpoint. An informed college entrance consultant can also provide up-to-date information to ensure students make successful choices during the college admissions process.

Finally, our focus is also on decreasing the stress level usually experienced during this time and to make the process fun and productive.
