WHY COLLEGE CONSULTING?
The college application process has become competitive, complicated, and stressful.
High school guidance counselors are generally overwhelmed by huge student populations. On average, the national student to guidance counselor ratio is 430 students per counselor (ASCA). These counselors can be just as stressed out by the college application process as their hundreds of students.
There are over 3,000 colleges to choose from, with the most competitive schools admitting less than 10% of applicants. In just ten years, some acceptance rates have dropped by half. In addition to a general essay, most colleges now require a resume and short answer writing samples. Many schools even recommend that students make connections to local admissions counselors and interview with admissions representatives.
Students are faced with complicated processes and stressful decisions, but have very little guidance at school. Jenna helps students tackle the application process with personal and attentive service. Jenna’s clients are not numbers, but people, and she works with each student individually to provide them with their best chance at success.

Scholarships, Financial Aid, and Beyond!
The average cost of attending a four-year public college is now almost $25,000 per year while the average cost of attending a four-year private college is almost $52,000 per year (NCES). These costs are only increasing.
But did you know that the Department of Education awards $46 billion in free scholarships each year? These scholarships are only some of many types of public and private financial aid for education. Jenna helps clients find local and national scholarships to assist with the staggering costs of college education. She also guides clients through merit–based aid and other financial aid application processes.
