Around now, high school seniors are starting to freak out about their college applications.
Which schools should I choose?
How many schools should I apply to?
How do I write a great essay?
What should I be doing in school to maximize my chances?
And ... how am I going to get it all done?
Parents looking to help their children can turn to Collegewise, a service of The Princeton Review that is out to take the stress out of getting in. Founded on the belief that the college process should be an enjoyable one for families and that the most selective colleges don’t have the market cornered on great college experiences, Collegewise assigns students to a college counselor who guides them through each and every step of the process without doing the work for them---from picking colleges, to filling out applications, to choosing the right stories for students’ college essays. Unless you believe there are only 12 colleges on the planet worth attending and (if you do, we’d like to politely disagree), we can probably help you find---and secure a spot at--the best school for your child.
