college counselor

Student application mentor

A college counselor is a professional who guides students through the process of applying to colleges and universities.

They help with selecting schools, writing application essays, preparing for standardized tests, and meeting deadlines.

In high schools, they may also handle academic advising and personal issues.

Private college counselors work independently, often for families seeking more intensive support: We hired a college counselor to help with her applications.
