August is a great time to start the college planning process!

College Vision is an innovative company designed to assist high school students and their parents navigate the college admissions and selection process. We will work with all high school students from freshmen to seniors and help them on Charting the Way to Exceptional Futures.

Myself and Mark Stavish founded College Vision in 2006, We were both senior executives in Human Resources at AOL We have built a model in which parents and students can have their own personal College Admissions Coaches to help them through all the hurdles. As our own children started going through the college application process, we realized that, with our HR backgrounds, we could pull together a highly-qualified team of College Admissions Coaches who could each work individually with students and their parents who were in desperate need of an experienced ‘partner’ to assist them in the all-important college planning and admissions process.

The college admissions process has become more competitive, complicated and time consuming than ever. Consider these facts:

-The number of high school graduates is expected to peak with a graduation class of 3.3 million in 2008-09.
- This number isn’t expected to drop below current levels again until 2015-16
- More than 17 million students are enrolled in college - an all time high.
- Approximately 75% of four-year colleges reported an increase in the number of applications from last year
-18% of Fall 2006 freshmen had submitted seven or more applications for admission
-Factors in the admissions process in order of importance:
-Grades in College Prep courses
-Strength of curriculum
-Standardized admissions test scores (SAT/ACT)
-Overall high school GPA
-Essay
-Class rank
