Each school counselor may be responsible for 400 or more students each year. Scheduling and enrollment demands may limit the amount of time they have to discuss your college options. College admission has become an involved and competitive process. You may want more individually focused time than your school counselor can provide. In addition, meetings can be scheduled to fit your and your parents schedules. We routinely schedule meetings in the afternoon and evening after school , on school holidays and on the weekends.  At College Consultants of South Carolina, our only focus is college counseling. Our goal is to complement the services you receive from your school so that you can find the schools that best fit for you and have the time that you need to use an expert at every step in the process.

We work with students who have a wide range of test scores, GPAs and extracurricular involvement. We have experience assisting students in choosing colleges at all levels of competitiveness. Our goal is to help you find the colleges that fit for your needs and goals.

Our college planning sessions are intended for individual students and their families. We believe that each student should have our undivided attention when we meet.  Throughout the year we also schedule a number of college planning workshops for small groups of students and parents who may want  information or skill building without committing to individual working sessions.

Absolutely. Keep in mind that time becomes very limited and the learning curve is very steep. An educational consultant can reduce the stress families and students experience and make the college selection and application process easier to manage.

This process can start when you begin high school. The competitive nature of college admissions rewards those who begin planning early. Your courses and academic record starting in the ninth grade affect your college options as a senior. Start thinking about colleges as a freshman and become more focused as you move through your sophomore and junior years.  The earlier you are able to start working with us, the greater your success.

No. That is both unprofessional as well as unethical. Our contact is with you and your family.
