Our services
College Admissions Assistance
From developing your college list to completing the college application, College Docs can help with all aspects of the college admission process. We offer a unique perspective and support structure due to our experience as psychologists. We are not only there to help you navigate the admissions process, but we also listen to your concerns with a personal touch. Getting into college is one of the most important steps in a young person's life, and we are as invested in that process as you are. We know it is more than just a numbers game, and we are here to help your student find and apply to colleges of his or her choice.
The College Search:
We begin our college admissions consulting as early as sophomore or junior year. Starting with an in-depth exploratory meeting with the student and his or her family, we discuss academic history, expectations for the college experience, personal aspirations, and learning styles. We strategize with our clients to find colleges that provide a good fit for each student's unique set of variables. From there, we strive toward compiling a list of colleges with each student for them to visit, and later on apply to, that is both challenging yet realistic. With each student, we develop a Personalized College Action Plan tailored to his or her needs and interests.
The College Application:
From beginning to end, the college application process can be daunting. Along with the college essay and résumé, there are many details that have to be accurate, and timeliness is an important factor. College Docs accompanies each student through these challenges by:
High School Course Schedule and Extracurriculars:
We advise students about high school courses or other activities that might enhance their college application. Advanced Placement courses, early college experience credits, and extracurricular clubs and activities can help build each student’s résumé, and better position them for college.
SAT Prep/Tutoring
In addition to admissions consulting services, College Docs is able to refer students for SAT prep and individual tutoring if needed. We are happy to have the excellent services of Alex and Jason Racheotes, who have agreed to offer a reduced rate to clients already working with College Docs.
