OnRamp helps you navigate the road to college through a comprehensive counseling program.  I start with a self-assessment and we work together to finding the 'best fit' school.  I meet with you on a regularly scheduled basis to help guide you through the process, keep you on task, and help you manage your deadlines.  I spend a lot of time getting to know you so that I will understand what colleges will be a good match for your individual strengths and interests.  My goal is to help you gain admission to a college that allows you to thrive academically and have the best chances for a positive college experience.  The mile markers along the way include: 

 

• Explain and facilitate the college admission process to you and your family

• Advise you in your selection of high school extracurricular and volunteer activities

• Ensure that you have the requisite academic courses to qualify for admission

• Conduct a skills/interest assessment to help you identify college majors and career options

• Create a college list of 'best fit' schools based on your specific criteria

• Discuss differences between the SAT and ACT tests and construct a testing timetable

• Suggest options for test prep if additional testing is required

• Personalize your college plans if you have learning differences or other special issues

• Suggest appropriate essay topics and work with you throughout the editing process

• Review resumes and applications

• Conduct practice interviews

• Help coordinate college visits

• Advise you and your family on financial aid and scholarship matters

• Help you with your acceptance decision
