Path to College Mentoring
As it becomes increasingly more difficult to get into a good college, making prudent decisions in high school is more important than ever. We help students select classes, activities and standardized tests that will maximize their opportunities.
Choosing the right steps on the path college can seem like a daunting task to students. There are so many questions: Which classes should I take? Should I be in a basic course or an AP level course? How many and what type of extracurricular activities should I be involved in? Should I take the SAT or the ACT — or both? Which SAT Subject Tests should I consider?
We understand what colleges are looking for in a student’s academic and extracurricular activities, and can help students make choices that best fit their personality, goals, interests and abilities.
