The college application process is daunting. You might feel the swarm of expectations, fears, and questions once high school starts. It’s often hard to know exactly what, how, and when things needs to be done—and you might be worried your student doesn’t have the organization and time management skills to stay on track. You also want them set up for success in a way that makes sense for who they are, rather than squeezing themself into a version they think they need to be in order to get into college.

Uncommon’s College Counseling focuses on understanding students’ big picture—their grades, extracurriculars, and interests—and then helps them narrow down what kind of school is the right fit for them. We’ll build a comprehensive college list that melds practicality with dreams, and then guide them on how to get to where they want to go. Altogether, it’s a mashup of self-reflection, admission insights, logistics, planning, and genuine mentorship.
