When is the best time to start working with an Independent College Consultant?
There is no magic time to start working with an Independent College Consultant. Once a student is in high school and ready to begin thinking about college, meeting with a private college counselor can help guide the student down the path of high school as well as prepare for college. Beginning the process early can help alleviate and reduce stress for your students. Course planning and advice on extracurriculars can be an advantage of working with freshmen and sophomores. Many families typically begin with a college consultant right before junior year. Some families prefer to wait until senior year to start working with someone and that is fine. The families just need to be prepared for the fast pace of the process.
