WHY USING A QUALIFIED COLLEGE BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT IS IMPORTANT

1. INVOLVEMENT WITH PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS We find it vital to adhere to professional ethics and associations. Our team is affiliated with the premier professional associations in our field, adheres to astringent ethics, and attends seminars, conferences and workshops on a regular basis.

2. PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY We believe it is essential to help each student find the right fit, rather than simply helping him or her "get in" to college. We also respect the unique differences of every student. We want each student to thrive in his or her chosen college environment and we are diligent in helping everyone find the school that is the right match.

3. OUR CREDENTIALS, EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT All members of our counseling team have either a Master's Degree in Counseling and/or a post-bachelor's degree Certificate in College Counseling. We attend numerous conferences and participate in professional webinars each year, so that we may provide current, in-depth information and substantiated recommendations to our students and parents.

4. DEDICATION TO ENJOYING THE EDUCATIONAL PLANNING PROCESS AND TO REDUCING ANXIETY There are great options for every student! Our goal is to make the educational planning process very productive, full of research, college exploration, and student self-reflection. Our students look forward to their meetings with their counselor! We like to get things done and we like to have FUN!

5. CAMPUS KNOWLEDGE We have completed over 500 campus visits throughout the United States and spend 20-30 % of our time staying up-to date on trends in higher education. Staying current with developments in higher education is a priority and we are often sought after to present seminars, workshops and lectures on trends in higher education.

6. OUR COUNSELORS WORK AS A TEAM You will feel it when you come into our office: We are a team. While your student will have his or her primary counselor for the duration of their time working with us, all of us support each other. When appropriate, we will share ideas and collaborate, thus giving your student the benefit of expertise from our entire counseling team.

7. WE LOVE WORKING WITH TEENAGERS! We have chosen to be educational consultants because we enjoy working with teenagers and we desire to help them find their ideal "college blueprint."
