WE FOCUS ON FINDING COLLEGES THAT FIT
The foundation of the process is finding a set of colleges that are a match for the family and student, not only academically but socially, emotionally and financially as well – what we coin as a student’s SAFE match. The Signature team starts by working through our College Search Questionnaire that has over 50 touch points where we discuss the student’s and family’s needs and desires in great depth.
FINANCIAL AID ASSESSMENT
Included in this is a financial aid assessment so we all understand what the family’s financial needs are and where the family stands through the eyes of a college.
COLLEGE SEARCH ANALYSIS
At this point, we go back and begin to compile a comprehensive college search packet, which provides the select list of colleges and associated key information. We meet with you to walk through the list, where we provide our overview of each and why we made these selections. College search doesn’t end there. It is an evolution that is fluid and ever-changing, as the student and family go through their discovery of what they are looking for in their college experience, with the potential for the list to evolve as we go through their journey.
Application and Timeline Management
We manage the application process ensuring that all of the “I’s are dotted and T’s crossed” making sure no stone is left unturned and everything is managed proactively. The student is carefully guided through their essays and student resume and their applications completed to present them in the best light possible.
Career Assessment
Signature College Counseling provides career assessments, which help provide clarity on what strengths the student has in helping them with a major and career direction. This service is offered to all clients via our a la carte services.
Consistent Communication
Communication is the key. Whether it be through online meetings, phone, text or email conversations, we are here for families with all of their questions and concerns to help set them up for the best opportunity for success.
