Students and parents seldom get the personal help they want and need from their high school college counseling program. Your college counselor is responsible to the Juniors and Seniors - half of your high school! That is why families turn to us.
Since 1990, Total College Planning has provided personal college counseling for students and families. We supplement a student's high school college counselor. For home-schooled students, we become the primary counselor.
Unlike high school counselors who tend to work only with college searches, we work with all of the pieces of the college planning puzzle. By integrating these key pieces, students and families make excellent decisions and get tremendous results.
When working with a family, we develop a trusting and open relationship with the student and parents. We encourage parents and students to call us as often as they need. The strong relationships we establish with each family produces excellent results.
As your personal counselor, we eliminate the burden, stress and the uncertainties families encounter in the college planning and admission process.
