College counselors offer a wide range of services to families of students seeking to enroll in college. These services vary depending on when the counselor is hired. For students in high school, college counseling is very important. Together, the counselor and the student can work on each application. Some college counselors help students prepare for the SAT or the ACT test directly through tutoring; even if your counselor doesn’t offer that service, they can probably recommend a reputable tutor for you. Counselors can also offer advice on all stages of your admissions essays. They can help you select a compelling topic, point out weaknesses in your essays, proofread for any spelling or grammar errors, and provide general editorial support for each of your essays.
Some College counselors offer to perform some other critical roles, including helping families find financial aid options for college. However, the sheer number of aid options and the applications required to secure them can be daunting, and these “traditional” college admissions counselors are often unable to help families narrow the field and concentrate on the scholarships and other financial aid packages that are most likely to bear fruit. This is where Jupiter Education Consultants can help.
