KATHY BRESSLER
College Counseling
Services
My program is personalized to address the preferences and needs of each student. We'll work together to highlight each student's unique characteristics to make them stand out among other applicants.
1
Getting acquainted
Freshman year
We will discuss an individualized plan based on your student's academic course load, the best way to approach extra-curricular activities, and the top 10 factors colleges consider when evaluating an applicant.

Gearing up
Sophomore year
I will meet with your student twice this year to help them focus in on a particular passion, reevaluate classes for the following year, schedule activities for the summer before their junior year and navigate test prep.

Finding the right fit
January of Junior year
I will use assessments, the student's academic rigor, grades and test scores to guide an extensive search, resulting in the best 15-30 colleges. Your student will then pare down the list of schools to apply to based on a variety of factors I present from the matching process.

Getting in
Summer before Senior year
Weekly counseling sessions with your student while they are working on their application and supplemental materials. Our goal will be to have all applications submitted by the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
