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.
