Maybe you have heard that some of your classmates are hiring private college counselors, and you were wondering what the benefits are when most high schools have an in-house counselor. Here are a few things you get from a private college counselor that high schools can’t provide.
- Focused attention – A private counselor will only take on the number of students to whom they can give complete attention. On the other hand, a guidance counselor at school will have to help every student who enters their office (and not just with college matters).
- Professional results – Because your private counselor has more time for you and more experience in college admissions matters, you can enjoy less stress in the process while also increasing your chance of getting into a reach school. After all, private college counselors are primarily focused on helping you create a college list and then getting you into the best school possible on that list.
- Customized recommendations – How can you beef up your student profile? While high school counselors are probably just comparing you to other students from your school, private counselors can help you to compete on a national level. This further increases your chances of getting into the best school for you, especially if you hire a counselor earlier in your education journey.
