College Admissions

You’ve been in school for as long as you can remember! For most of us when we’re kids, we don’t really choose where we go to school and when it’s time for college, we are making big decisions for the first time. You may have started thinking about the following questions, or people in your life are asking you:

• Where do I want to go to college?
• What kind of environment is best for me?
• What can my family afford?
• Do I know what I want to study?
• How do I get in?
• Is this really the right path for me?

These questions are just the tip of the iceberg. Choosing, applying, and actually moving into college life is a big deal! To be successful, it helps to be prepared. There is so much to think about, from test scores to GPAs to dealing with roommates in your dorm. This is where I come in. At Joyful by Design I offer coaching services to college applicants. I am here to guide you in exploring your options and help you make confident decisions for this next phase of your life. I’m here to say STOP! Breathe, don’t panic. I offer several packages for college applicants who wish to work one-on-one for intensive support through the admissions process. I encourage you to read over the details and consider which best meets your needs. My goal is to provide you with valuable support and resources while motivating you to continue taking action to get into the school that's right for you. Between sessions it will be your job to complete activities or gather information to keep things going - don't worry, each package comes with plenty of additional support!
