Wondering how to find (and get into) that “perfect” college? Look no further.

Families today are worried and confused about how, when, and most of all where to apply to college. At AMF College Consulting we take anxiety out of the picture by guiding students and their families every step of the way. Our primary goal is finding schools that are the “right fit” for the student, academically, socially and financially.

Why is fit so important?

No one will argue with the fact that the college you attend will have a huge impact on your life. A student’s college years provide an important transition to adulthood, the world of work, and much much more. Being in the right environment is critical to a successful college career. With so much at stake, it is more important than ever that students choose schools best suited to their unique needs and interests. Choosing the wrong school can result in lost credits and emotional turmoil. It is important to make the best and most informed choices you can from the beginning. Careful planning is the key, and at AMF College Consulting we provide the one-on-one guidance and counseling that helps you get it right the first time. Whether you choose a single course-planning session or a comprehensive package, we will make your college search process as relaxed and stress-free as possible.

When you travel on an airplane they always tell you that the “closest exit might be behind you.” They want you to realize that you need to look in all directions to find the quickest path to your goal. At AMF College Consulting we operate the same way. We find the best-fit schools for your child, knowing full-well that those may include schools your family has never heard of! We tour various college campuses and speak with admissions representatives every year. Let us share our expert knowledge with you so that you too can find the right fit.

A College Application isn’t Rocket Science. Why Hire a Consultant?

It’s true, students have been filling out college applications for decades without anyone’s help. What has changed, however, is the amount of information that’s out there. It seems that new books and websites are cropping up each day, and it is virtually impossible for the average student or parent to keep up with the flood of information.  A College Consultant has extensive experience in the field of admissions.  They take the time to stay current with the latest updates and publications and can help you pull out the information that will be helpful for YOUR student in YOUR particular situation.

College Consultants also spend a considerable amount of time on the road visiting campuses and speaking directly with admissions staff so that they can give you the most accurate picture of the schools where you will be applying. You can’t get that from a guide book! With colleges across the country reporting record numbers of applications, students need every advantage when it comes to being selected by their chosen schools. In today’s extremely competitive market, students need to start early and make careful college choices, to not only ensure that they are finding schools where they will be happy and successful, but also where they will be admitted.

Many high school students are unsure of their goals and aspirations, and that is to be expected! It is all too easy to be swayed by peers or the lure of the college with the biggest name or fanciest website. With personalized one-on-one assistance from a professional, your child will be better equipped to examine their strengths and weaknesses and determine what type of college will give them that perfect fit. At AMF College Consulting, we use a variety of surveys and questionnaires to help determine just where their passion may lie.

The Investment of a Lifetime

Your child’s college education will be one of the biggest investments you will ever make. The high price tag of many colleges and universities can overshadow the application process. Making the wrong college choice can prove costly, in that it can add years to the time necessary to complete an undergraduate degree, not to mention the emotional strain on the student and the family.  A college consultant can give students and parents the tools they need to choose the right school the first time around.

Choose an Expert Who Will Take the Time

School guidance counselors are finding themselves stretched beyond their limits by high student loads and increasing demands. It is often difficult, if not impossible, for them to provide the time and attention your child deserves when it comes time to the college application process. At AMF College Consulting, finding the right college for the student is our highest priority. We spend enough time with each student to be able to design a program best suited to their individual needs.

The highly personalized experience that each client receives at AMF College Consulting provides them with guidance and options they cannot get from the internet or a “how to” book. There is no substitute for that human connection. Let us show you how a college consultant can make a difference in your child’s life.
