When Should I Hire a College Admissions Coach?

Whenever you hire a college admissions coach, it will help. I promise. But how much it helps depends largely on your timing. October of your son or daughter's senior year in high school is not going to be as helpful as October of their freshman year, for example.

Or even earlier.

Believe it or not, middle school is a great time to start getting ready for college. There's less pressure because there are fewer immediate deadlines. And even though your middle-school child may not know yet what he or she wishes to study, there's a lot that can be done that will be generically useful—that is, that will work for any college application.

What do I do with your middle-school students? 
  • I'll help select classes
  • I'll review homework assignments
  • I'll encourage your son or daughter to make a good and lasting impression on their teachers (and teach them how). 
  • I'll check on grades, scores, and rankings. 
  • I'll tell you if and when you need to hire a tutor and I'll make sure that your kid follows through with the extra work.
All of this will be useful no matter what college eventually becomes your child's goal. So ... start early, and be aware that everything counts!
