Brenda Friedler College Consulting works with students and their families as an independent consultant, offering a step-by-step approach to every aspect of the college planning process, from an early focus on academics and choosing the best-fit classes and electives to SAT and ACT timing and goal setting to college identification and the entire application process.

We work out a plan for junior and senior years which will provide a clear path for the student to gain admission to a college of his or her choice. We focus on academics, reviewing the transcript and what courses the student is taking and discuss which are favorites and which are necessary. We talk about college testing, letters of recommendation, how to approach the SAT and/or ACT and what other exams should (or should not) be taken, and whether it makes sense for the student to take early exams.

Finally, we target 20-25 schools of the students choosing and evaluate them carefully, from class size and course options to location and extra-curricular activities. The student determines which colleges are of interest according to personal expectations. I explain to the student the process of how to research each college.
