COMPREHENSIVE COLLEGE COUNSELING
Our signature Comprehensive College Counseling program is designed to meet the needs of rising seniors as they identify, research and apply to 6-8 great fit colleges. Ours is a student-driven process that encourages accountability and student ownership of the process. This flat-fee program consists of multiple one-on-one virtual meetings with a GCF counselor. The meetings, which last about an hour (and usually begin in May of the student’s junior year) take place over many months. On average, students receive over 20 hours of personalized guidance. At Great College Fit, we help students identify colleges that will be the right fit for them based on their own unique educational, social, and personal goals and needs.
