Welcome! We are College Consultants and our goal is to place high school students into premier colleges that will suit their personal, academic, and professional goals. We view a successful college placement when our students visit and tell us they are happy at school, passionate about life, and have developed a career path.  In fact, many of our students continue to work with us developing summer internships and applying for their first job out of college.

Some important reasons why you should talk with us:

1. As college advisors we have been placing students for 35 years. Dick Whitcomb brings over 20 years of Headmaster experience to each assignment.
2. We have excellent relationships with college admissions throughout the country and draw from our vast network of former students, parents, and alums during the college admissions process.
3. Our proven "College Success Process" provides families the confidence that their child will be successfull in college. We stay involved with the student and family through the completion of freshman year.
4. We will leave no stone unturned during the college planning and college recruiting application process.
5. We are former coaches and educators; our students enjoy working with us as academic advisors and mentors as they embark on their career path.
 

Whitcomb-Haney College "Success Program" Overview
 

Initial Consultation with Parents
We first learn of the parent's objectives; your child's needs; educational goals; learning styles, and timing


Introductory Meeting with Student

Once there is a decision to proceed, we meet individually with the student. This is a "get to know" & information gathering discussion. Subsequent calls and meetings may be needed prior to the planning meeting.

Our "College Success" Program
Our hard copy review will answer three primary questions: (1) Who the student is; (2) Where does he/she want to go; and (3) How is he/she going to get there? This comprehensive presentation includes an "inventory assessment" of the student's area of interest and potential college majors and the preliminary list of colleges. We summarize the outcome of the meeting and usually there are a couple of follow-up meetings to finalize the plan.

Execution of the "Success" Plan
This is the most comprehensive aspect of our plan including our involvement in:
standardized testing ; tutors review of progress; college trip planning, visits and follow-up; interview preparation; essay development; final selection of colleges; completion of applications; decision analysis on final selection among acceptances; preparation for the first year of college; and frequent dialogue during first year of college.
