ACT or SAT? What should be my major? What are colleges really looking for? How do I get into my dream school? What if my GPA isn’t high enough?
It feels like there are a million questions and not enough answers. One wrong choice could mean the difference between getting into your dream school and not going to college at all. That’s why, when it comes to studying abroad… every step matters! When College Compass works with families, we encourage them to start early and find a mentor. Here are the reasons:
Applying to the right college can take months, even years for specific schools. Mentors can guide you through the entire process from start to finish and save time.
Each school has their own unique requirements, such as essays, extracurriculars, and student profiles. Mentors can help you find creative ways to stand out and improve your chances of getting in.
Strict deadlines often overwhelm students and their GPA, since they must balance schoolwork and applications at the same time. Mentors can help you manage your time and set priorities alongside you.
The large selection of majors and classes leave students feeling confused and lost, and students need help discovering their strengths, weaknesses, and future career paths. Mentors can connect you with resources, help you explore your options, and answer all your questions.
Above all else, mentors will be there side by side with you and help you open doors you didn’t know existed!
College Compass understands completely and can assist you!
