It takes a lot of work to get to the successful end of each college admissions season. A hearty congratulations to each student we worked with this cycle, and best of luck as you move on to the next exciting chapter in your life!!! Juniors with whom we are working now are each looking at lists of 25-50 colleges, on their way to selecting the 12-15 schools that will be lucky to have them apply. The work will be hard but the acceptance letters will be so satisfying!

Recent College Visits I spent a week in Illinois in April. Bradley University in Peoria, Ill. is a great medium-sized college option for students looking for a traditional college environment and big school spirit (my write up and photos are here). Illinois Wesleyan and Augustana College are small, liberal arts colleges where students can have access to professors and small classes. All three are great options for California students! I’ll be visiting colleges in upstate New York in the fall. I’ve visited over 125 colleges in the past two years! As always, you can find my reviews of California colleges here, and out-of-state colleges I’ve visited here. |
