The college application process can be stressful for families and students, but it doesn’t have to be! At Magna (Latin for Great) College Consulting, our philosophy is that the college process should be an exciting time of self-discovery. We love getting to know our students, hearing their stories, and learning what motivates them. Working one-on-one with students in weekly meetings, we help them assess their strengths, explore academic and extracurricular experiences, create a balanced college list, identify opportunities, and craft a seamless story woven throughout their application that will make them stand out. By the end of our work together, our students find a college where they will thrive.
