How do I prepare for college? How do I know if a school is right for me? What do I need to do to make sure that I am competitive?  What should I know about the applications? To how many schools should I apply? When should I apply? Who should go to a boarding school? Aren't boarding schools just for students with really good grades? Aren't boarding schools places for troubled students?
These questions are often easily answered through detailed transcript and testing reviews, along with intense individualized exploration with students and families. As a professional with extensive experience and knowledge, Ms. Davis can help sift through the overwhelming amount of information available, to find schools or colleges where students will thrive, and she can help develop applications that showcase a student's particular strengths and unique qualities. Despite the excellent services that School Counselors provide, their enormous caseloads and diverse responsibilities leave little time for individualized college planning or school placement. An independent educational consultant, as a specialist in school and college planning, can assist each client individually and can tailor recommendations, suggestions and procedures to match each student's needs.  Ms. Davis' expertise in college and school admissions, gained through specific graduate training, hundreds of school visits, active participation in professional organizations, and continuing professional development, can provide students and parents with a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience unavailable through any other resource. She works with and for the student, with no other institutional commitments, to provide objective first-hand knowledge with only her clients' interests and needs in mind.
