College Counseling |
|
| Soundview is fortunate to have as our College Counselor Carol Gill, a certified educational planner and president of Carol Gill Associates, a leading educational consulting firm in Westchester. Our college placement program begins early on, when students and their families are advised how to plan for college-what courses they will need to take, what activities they might wish to include, when to begin visiting colleges.
The process intensifies in January of the junior year, when Ms. Gill meets with all juniors and their parents to discuss the tasks that lie ahead in choosing a college and preparing applications. In the fall semester, Ms. Gill meets with each senior several times to provide advice and check that deadlines are being met. The faculty and Headmaster are available for assistance in the writing of college essays. The school sends transcripts, an official school letter, and teacher recommendations to each college. In November, an important part of the college process occurs when the College Counselor conducts a personal follow-up with all of the colleges where Soundview seniors have applied. This follow-up continues for several months until a student is placed.
Throughout the college planning process at Soundview, the key factor is personalized attention. The school is proud of its record of college placement, with a strong emphasis on making the right match between student and college.
