[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]are there any specific companies that are recommended for college counseling help? my DD is in mcps school and currently a sophomore in the magnet school.[/quote]

I would suggest that she attend NACAC in the spring (it's in PG) so she can get a feel for what a college fair is like and then go again in the fall at the Washington Convention Center. (The one at the convention center is huge.) I would do college tours beginning this summer so she can start narrowing down her options. If you are going on a family vacation somewhere, I would see if there are any nearby colleges to go on a quick tour. If she's interested in a particular major, I'd ask the departments during open houses about what they look for in an admissions application. Some schools may look for a certain level of math, science, foreign language, etc... in order to get into that department. Don't just rely on the college admissions counselor to give you info about the school. Also the best students that I've had the opportunity to work with were active and engaged in activities. Don't burn DD out but it's refreshing to read about a student who's passionately engaged in their interests whether it's a sport or a community service learning project.[/quote]
