THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CONSULTANT GOES TO DENVER

This past week, along with the 1st Presidential Debate in Denver, we were there to learn how to better serve students at the 2012 NACAC Conference.   We also got to tour THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER and THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, BOULDER.

This is a time when we all come together from all over the world, and share ideas, thoughts, and learn from our peers on the latest developments or see new products that can be used to assist us in helping students transition from High School or Community College to a 4-year school.
  
This convention was made up of College Admissions Officers, High School Principals, College Counselors, College Consultants ( like us),  SAT/ACT Tutors, and Companies that provide products to enhance the college application process.

The Value of this to Students and Families is that we are able to share with you first hand information that we have discovered or learned about as a result of going to a convention like this.  Often, School Counselors are not able to attend due to budget cuts,   and this is how a consultant can assist you and your school counselor in the college admissions process.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ARE MISLEAD BY INTERNATIONAL AGENTS

In recent months, college admissions consultants have been warned about how some international agents ( not all)... are pushing international students to schools where they do not belong in order to gain a maximum payday at the end and get greater kick backs.

College is suppose to be a rewarding and fruitful experience for a student who is age 18-23, and seen as a period of transition.  However, when we meet international students we find that they do not know how they got to where they are and had been hoping for a better experience.

It is felt that the US is getting a lot of students from China today because they do not have enough colleges and universities in their own country for students to attend.  Their parents are anxious, just as US families are about the dreams they have for their children.

It is important that if you are or know of a student that is applying to a US college that you help them connect with a college admissions consultant in the US who can properly guide them into a school where they can grow as an individual and leave with fond memories.
