The official e-newsletter of The Equestrian College Advisor.

From the blog:

During my admission counselor days, I was invited by an educational consultant friend each spring to give a talk to her clients, the title of which was always “Secrets from the Admission Office.” For an hour (or so), I outlined to parents and students the admission process as seen through the eyes of admission officers so they would have insight into how their application would be delivered, reviewed, and (hopefully!) accepted and then what the next steps were for accepted students as they narrowed their choices. Along the way, I gave tips, tricks, and hints that were designed to teach students not to think like the high schoolers they were, but to think like savvy college applicants – how to maximize their chances of admission, how parents could avoid annoying admission and financial aid staffers (hint: let your student make the phone calls), and how to keep perspective on the whole crazy process.

Now that I’m on the other side of the desk as an educational consultant myself, I’ve given a modified version of the same speech at the College Preparatory Invitational Horse Show as well as to my own clients, but as I’ve thought over it lately, I’ve come to realize that there’s one piece of information I haven’t focused on as much as I perhaps should have – and it’s something that’s becoming more and more pertinent as the years go on. Read More
