The college selection and admissions process can seem overwhelming, but don’t worry, because help is only a phone call, email, or social media post away. Chances are, there is a particular admissions counselor assigned to your high school. Regardless of your high school grade level, feel free to find and contact your assigned admissions counselor. Your admissions counselor can answer both general and specific questions about the college admissions process. You can often find your assigned counselor on the institution’s admissions website, or feel free to call the admissions office directly. When you contact the admissions office, identify yourself as a prospective student, share the name of your high school, your grade level, and ask about the best way to contact your admissions counselor.
If you are starting your college career at a community college and plan to transfer to another institution, consider connecting with transfer admissions counselors early in your community college career. Transfer admissions counselors can provide valuable timeline, course selection, financial aid, and scholarship information about their respective institutions.
In conclusion, high school students, if you are interested in a college, university, or career school, feel free to reach out to the admissions office and find your assigned admissions counselor. They can help you to navigate the college admissions process.
