Why use a college admissions and consulting service?

In past years, most high school students gave little thought to college admissions preparation until their junior or senior year. Generally students and parents relied solely on high school counselors for guidance and preparation for college admissions. Well, times have changed. With an upsurge in class sizes, decreases in school budgets, fewer high school counselors to manage the admissions process and the best colleges and universities continuously raising admissions requirements, students and parents are more responsible for navigating this competitive process. As more accomplished students apply, student acceptance rates decrease. These trends are so apparent that students and parents now realize the need for solid planning and preparation to navigate this increasingly competitive college admissions process.
