Choosing a college is one of the most critical decisions your son or daughter will face. Finding the “right match” is everyone’s goal. But how to get there?
The steps can seem overwhelming. Researching which colleges are a match for the student’s academic abilities and social needs. Exploring what programs and majors best fit his or her goals. Navigating through the very confusing maze of testing, essays, application options, college resumes, campus interviews, scholarship programs, and athletic and artistic admissions.
It makes sense to consult with an expert who can guide your family through this process. Clients of Spiegel College Planning have noted the following benefits that you, too, will value in a partnership with Mary.
