“Raleigh College Consulting’s mission is to guide students and their families through the college selection process with the needs and goals of the individual students at the center of each decision.”
Raleigh College Consulting was founded to offer students an alternative approach to choosing a college. Many high school students focus their college search on what the school is looking for from the applicant rather than what the applicant is looking for from the school. With Raleigh College Consulting, students and their families become the consumers of higher education and together we identify exactly what the student needs from the college experience and then find the institutions that will best serve the student.
Selecting a college is one of the biggest decisions young adults make during their transition to adulthood. The search process should be a time of calm, controlled, deliberate self-assessment—an opportunity to cast a wide net and explore all the possibilities for a quality education. It should also be a time for students and parents to enjoy each other and have fun sharing in the excitement of this next phase in life.
Getting into college is not the endgame, it’s just the beginning!
