When properly framed and executed, the college search and application process need not be frustrating and onerous – either for students, or for parents. Instead, when students and their parents embrace an unfolding journey of self-discovery and self-confidence, a bright future reveals itself. Prince College Counseling assists students as they make that profound transition into adulthood, helping them to discover their voice through introspection, to gain the independence required to articulate the college environment they need, and to present a compelling profile for admission to selective colleges and universities.

Each journey is unique; there is no single path through the college search and application process. Each student defies generalization. Each student offers a unique story to tell. Each student reveals different needs to fulfill. Each student engages the process from a different perspective. And, each student moves through the process at a different pace.

While adults walk alongside a student on this journey, it is the student who must take ownership of the search and application process. Ultimately, the student decides where to apply, what to reveal in essays, whom to approach for recommendations, and when to apply. By building a relationship over time with students and their families, Prince College Counseling is able to guide and counsel each student appropriately.

When equipped with the tools needed to undergo an honest appraisal of themselves, when thoughtful introspection leads to thorough research, and when careful attention is given to the minute details of the application process, students emerge from Prince College Counseling’s thoughtful, tested, and well-designed process excited to matriculate to the college or university that best fits their articulated needs.
