The Approach

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 by the director 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.
