Parent Consultations

If you are the parent of a current high-school student, you are probably already concerned about the prospect of your child attending college. You are correct to give this topic your full attention—the earlier, the better—as things aren't what they used to be in the world of college admissions! At Apps4College®, we want to take the fear and confusion out of the application process by offering both private parent consultations and group seminars. These meetings are designed to inform and educate parents about all aspects of college admissions, with a special emphasis on college application.

Private consultations are scheduled year-round and often include the student. The group seminars are usually held at the request of various clubs, churches, or parent organizations and are scheduled months in advance.
