Discovering the ins and outs of every step of the college admissions process is a lot to take on. Working with a private college consultant at Bright Futures gives you confidence that you won’t miss any important details or deadlines. Every student receives focused, personalized guidance to navigate all aspects of academics in pursuit of their dreams. Meanwhile, families gain realistic insight about how to make their student’s future a wise investment. When you work with a consultant, you’ll have an expert on your team.
Oftentimes, high school college counselors have caseloads as high as 400 students to advise. Additionally, their role typically encompasses more than just college counseling which necessarily reduces their counseling time per student. If your student and family could benefit from guidance tailored to your needs, a college consultant is right for you.
If you attend a smaller school with a more accessible/available college counselor, we still encourage you to ask for feedback regarding their experience and their plan for your student. A lower ratio of students does not necessarily equate to a better quality of guidance. College consultants are unbiased and have no other goal than to help your student thrive in their best fit college or post-secondary plan.
Regardless of the school or assigned counselor, we ask that any college guidance given to a student be shared with their Bright Futures counselor so that we may take it into account. The same way an athlete may work with both a team coach and a personal trainer, or a student attends math class and also has a math tutor, our goal is to work in tandem with a student’s support system so that they can reach their goals.
No, it’s not too late! Our counselors are here to reduce the stress of preparing for and applying to college! We tailor our program to meet the needs of a student. Contact us, and let’s discuss the best plan for your family.
The big difference between our All-Inclusive and Essentials experience is the management level. Counselors are consistently thinking about and guiding their All-Inclusive students through every college application choice and decision point. They receive support throughout their senior year to write, assemble, and manage their application materials.
Students who work with us through the Essentials Package receive guidance as they develop a plan for college and application strategy. Aside from the essay developed in the Essay Boot Camp and instructions received in Application Workshop, they complete and submit the majority of the application requirements independently.
The earlier we start with your student, the better. We work with students as young as 8th grade.
Discuss this with your consultant. S/he will need to consider their caseload, as they intentionally work with a limited number of clients each year. Your payments for the Essentials package will be applied to your All-Inclusive package, but you may incur a fee.
Strategizing and creating a college list is a big deal. Consider the list carefully before proceeding. The college list is often the most difficult part of the college admissions process. We help your student make sure they haven’t missed anything when evaluating their college decision.
