College Planning
Sending children to college is one of the largest investments
most families will ever make, second only to buying a home.
Selecting the right college can be a daunting decision.
College initiates great personal growth for students –
if they can choose a college that meets their distinct needs.
Few parents or school counselors have the resources needed
to guide a student toward the best choice.
That's where the specialty services of JRA Educational
Consulting play a pivotal role. Offering personalized
counseling they might not get in school, Robinovitz and her
staff help students research and apply to a range of colleges.
Assessment
Rovinovitz and her staff perform a comprehensive assessment
of the student's abilities, personality, interests, and goals
in order to identify the learning environment that best suits
the student.
Targeting Colleges that Fit
JRA Educational Consulting identifies a range of colleges
targeted to match the particular needs of the student:
- Academic
- Social
- Geographic
|
- Financial
- Religious
- Special Interests
|
Without outside counsel, students often limit their choices
to colleges their friends attend, well-known colleges, or
schools close to home. Robinovitz's firsthand knowledge and
professional contacts widen the choices, encouraging students
to consider a greater number of appropriate colleges.
A Full Range of Services
College planning extends beyond identifying colleges to include:
- Guiding students to effectively present themselves on
the application and in the interview
- Coaching students to develop a competitive edge to distinguish
themselves
- Teaching students and parents how to glean the most from
college visits
- Curricular, co-curricular, and summer planning
Follow-up
Robinovitz maintains contact with students and families even
after students begin college. Counseling them about academic
and social adjustments, she helps ensure a positive experience.
