Personal Statement:
It wasn't too long ago that many of us admissions counselors were undertaking the college search process. We know that it can be an intense and stressful time for many students and their families, but it doesn't always have to be. Whether you are a first-generation college student or the child of a college graduate, there are people available to help you through the process. From college counselors, to admissions and financial aid professionals, you are not undertaking this process alone, and we are more than happy to offer a helping hand.
