Graduate Admissions

The Graduate Admissions Package comes with approximately 15 cumulative hours of counseling. Typically, they're virtual meetings through Zoom, Facetime, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google.  However, they can also be in person, by phone, or through email.  It's important to note that with package plans come minor homework assignments that help us cover more ground during our 1-on-1 meetings.  Throughout each year, we track your progress on a college evaluation sheet to ensure timely advancements are made towards your goals.
