high school guidance counselors

#080 – On this episode, Jankel and I present a very important person in the college admission aspirations of high school students, the high school college counselor. We discuss the enormous workloads that are placed on the desks of counselors, who on the average are assigned with guiding 500 students through their college admission process. In some states, high school college counselors are assigned as many as 1,200 students. Considering the huge time and resource limitations in which counselors have to carry out their duties, we provide advice for high school students to follow to create the best working relationship with their counselors. Additionally, we go over 15 questions that all high school students should ask their high school college counselors, regardless of their grade level. These questions are designed to ensure that students achieve a successful college preparation and are able to meet or exceed the admission requirements of the colleges and universities to which they want to apply.

#003 – On this episode of the CMP we speak with experienced college consultant and all-around great guy, Keegan Ash from Ash College Consulting. Keegan offers advice to parents and students to avoid the college admissions mishaps he has witnessed through the years. 

We talk about the important role “listening” plays in connecting with kids and the value of establishing a “Game Day” with your teen. You will be surprised to find that is not what you may think it is! However, it is very important in establishing good communication with your teen in matters related to college admissions.

Keegan also talks about the difficult job high school guidance counselors in public schools have as each tries to help hundreds of students get into college, how important it is for parents to uncover their motivations for the college advice they give their kids, and the $40,000 mistake he made years ago when he was getting ready to go to college.
