Hey Avonna, I wanted to let you know some great news! I am officially a Baylor Bear! Thank you for everything you helped me with and guided me on. I couldn't be happier with this decision. I went to sleep last night smiling ear to ear. Truly, I couldn't have done this without your support.
Arianna - Baylor Class of 2029
Thank you so much for the all the work and time you put into my this application process. From the activities to the essays, you guided me through making sure I submitted my best work. And because of it, several top schools accepted me. I can't thank you enough at all.

I sincerely appreciate your guidance and want to thank you for every piece of advice and support you've provided. Dedicating enough time and effort to the important things was crucial to the process.

I am so thankful Avonna encouraged me to get my applications done early since senior year has gotten so busy! I finished before a lot of my friends even started.
-Victoria (USC Class of 2025)
Thank you for helping Michael express himself in his essays so that his voice was heard. We also appreciate you keeping him on task, especially through this busy fall semester, during which he underestimated the many demands on his time. I am especially grateful that I could focus on being his mom during this time and not have to repeatedly bug him about college stuff. I just wanted you to know how much your help was appreciated.

Why hire a private college counselor ...
when a high school student has a counselor at school?
There are many reasons why a high school student can benefit from working with a private college counselor.
-
A private counselor can provide more personalized and specialized advice, as they are experts in the college admissions process and have extensive experience working with students on their applications.
-
Private counselors are available to students during the summer and weekends.
-
A personal counselor can offer additional support and guidance throughout the college search and application process, which can be especially helpful for students who are feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps.
-
A private counselor can provide an outside perspective and additional resources and connections that may not be available through a school counselor.
Overall, hiring a personal college admissions counselor can be a valuable investment for a high school student who is looking for extra support and guidance as they navigate the college admissions process.
