College Admissions Consulting
We at Garrett Educational Consulting work closely with both the student and parents throughout the college application process to determine the type of schools that will provide the best environment in which the student will thrive academically, socially, and mentally. There are countless schools to consider and pathways to take. As such, we aim to pair each student with a set of schools that are as unique as their interests and needs.
We encourage students to be realistic in their expectations, while simultaneously asking them to challenge themselves and
seek out goals they are willing to work for. With this in mind, we aim to dispel some of the potential stress associated with the college process by providing a clear set of instructions as well as internal deadlines. Our tailored process helps students to do all the work and more to the highest degree while still avoiding becoming overwhelmed and bogged down in the complicated aspects of college applications.
