Why Use Academic Insight?
Because Your Student is Our Student
The current student-to-counselor ratio in U.S. public schools is nearly 500 to 1.
Students receive an average of 38 minutes of one-on-one college counseling during their four years in high school. Thirty-eight minutes. That's it.
No wonder a study by Lipman-Hearne found nearly 26% of high school seniors use an independent educational consultant in their college search and application process.
We feel that all of our students are "our kids," and like all parents, we want the best for them. We also want to help you help them. Let us take the stress out of your child's college preparation, discovery and application. This time in your child's life should be a time of discovery and personal growth; not a time filled with stress and anxiety.
FINDING THE RIGHT FIT, ACADEMICALLY, SOCIALLY, AND FINANCIALLY, IS CRITICAL TO A STUDENT'S SUCCESS AND OVERALL HAPPINESS.
We're here every step of the way. Starting with a review of a student's high school courses and activities, selecting the right SAT/ACT testing strategy; building a college list that fits the student academically, socially, and financially; writing college essays, submitting the applications, and completing financial aid forms.
We limit the number of students with whom we work and work intensely with them creating customized plans and setting deadlines to ensure that students complete their applications and essays thoughtfully, effectively, early, and without stress on you as the parents.
LET US HELP YOUR CHILD PRESENT THEIR "BEST-SELF" TO THE COLLEGES OF THEIR CHOICE.
