10 reasons to go for Collegehill

1.

Experience

Collegehill counselors are serious professionals. They must have at least two years of experience in admissions counseling and have worked with scores of students before we will consider their applications for membership. Each application is reviewed by a committee of respected peers, assuring professionalism and competence.

2.

Campus knowledge

Collegehill counselors have, on average, visited more than 150 college campuses each, and spend about 20% of their time each year touring colleges to stay knowledgeable and up-to-date.

3.

Professional integrity

Collegehill counselors sign a yearly pledge that governs their interactions with colleges, students, and parents. They agree to avoid any action that distorts or misrepresents a student’s record or interferes with a university’s ability to get an accurate picture of a student. Collegehill counselors affirm yearly that they will accept no compensation from a university, college, or any institution in exchange for placement.

4.

Truth in advertising

As a criterion for membership, Collegehill consultants must submit their marketing materials so that we can ensure no false promises are made to prospective clients. When communicating with students and parents, Collegehill counselors emphasize finding a great match, rather than merely “getting in.”

5.

Education

Collegehill counselors don’t stumble into college consulting. We require a master’s an appropriate field, or similar experience and training.

6.

Commitment to keep current

No consultancy places a greater emphasis on professional training. Collegehill sponsors conferences and workshops meant to ensure that our members understand the very latest trends in admission, learning theory, and adolescent behavior. Our seminars featuring well-known experts in the field have become so popular that local school counselors and admission directors vie with our members for these ‘standing room only’ learning opportunities.

7.

Free Counselling

Collegehill doesn’t charge their clients for counseling. It generates it revenues from college or universities. It is also free for schools and professional organisations

8.

Dedication to reducing anxiety

Every counselor of COLLEGEHILL understands his or her important role in the college application process. Members immediately seek to reassure students and parents that there are great college choices for everyone, and commit to help reduce anxiety for both parents and students. Our members believe that the student, not the parent or the consultant, is responsible for driving the application process. Success is judged not by gaining admission, but by a successful experience wherever a student chooses to matriculate.

9.

Respect of colleagues

Counselors in COLLEGEHILL must demonstrate their commitment to students’ welfare and professional standards by providing professional references. Given their extensive knowledge and experience, it’s not surprising that Collegehill counselors are routinely tapped for national and regional boards, presentations, and lectures.

10.

Stringent ethical standards

Rarely, but occasionally, a conselor violates the spirit of the principles cited on this page. When that happens, the member is removed from COLLEGEHILL. Those removed from membership are ineligible to rejoin our consultancy. This is the only way we can assure you that when a consultant is an COLLEGEHILL member, it means something.
