College Counseling

Marshall’s college counseling program is a highly personalized process with the goal of assisting students in finding colleges that best fit their personal, academic, and co-curricular strengths and interests. Marshall has a strong reputation among colleges and universities throughout the United States. 

The formal college counseling process begins in junior year, with individual student meetings and group presentations as a part of crew-advisory.  However, beginning in 9th grade students are introduced to opportunities and  encouraged explore their current interests as well as try out new activities. 

Marshall’s Director of College Counseling meets individually with students to identify personal, academic, and co-curricular strengths and interests. The Director also reviews student achievements and long-term goals for college and beyond when crafting each students college search process. Active advising encompasses understanding selectivity of colleges, researching colleges, guiding standardized testing, helping plan visits to college campuses, completing college applications, crafting and revising college and scholarship essays, coordinating letters of recommendation, writing a personal recommendation for each student, guiding the process for applying for need-based and merit aid, which all leads to students choosing the campus that best fits them.
