What does it mean for a college to be a “good fit”?

To us, a “good fit” is a college where a student will be happy and successful academically, extracurricularly, and socially; where the student will be more likely to graduate on time; and where the family can afford the cost. For most students, there are many colleges that are “good fits”, giving them several options from which to choose.

Sara, you really set the standards high for college counselors. The students that get to work with you are profoundly fortunate. Jadyn is a no nonsense, very put together young person, and to find that same dynamic in you was delightful for her.

Marcia helped [our daughter] Sasha navigate her strengths and her interests . . . she helped her narrow down all the potential choices for where to apply and she helped keep Sasha on track with essays and application deadlines. She was a great mentor and a cheerleader. And, most importantly, our daughter is so happy with school and her classes and her friends. So it’s a win-win-win.
