A: ICC Counselors assist middle school to high school students and their families through the entire college admissions process. ICC gets to know your student through a diagnostic assessment that results in a prescriptive, individualized approach for each student. Our comprehensive curriculum covers everything from college selection, essay writing, and scholarship/financial aid searches. ICC Counselors, all former senior admissions officers from the nation’s top colleges, working individually with students to ensure their applications are completed in a way that makes them stand out from other students with similar grades and ACT/SAT scores.
A: Today’s high school guidance counselors have many responsibilities above and beyond assisting with the college admission process, including: test administration, student discipline, family issues, course selection and much more. As a result, it is nearly impossible for them to give your child the attention that he/she may need. As a result, ICC receives many referrals from counselors at public and private schools. In addition, the high school guidance counselors are not available during the crucial summer months in which many colleges are making early admissions decisions.
A: Many times we start the process as early and the 8th and 9th grade years to assist with study skills, course selection, and beginning the process of thinking about extracurricular activities and clubs that may enhance their future college and scholarship search process. Generally, we work with high school students who are beginning the testing, search, essay and application processes. In deciding the right time for your child, consider how ready you are to embark on this journey. We have success with students of all ages.
A: ICC Counselors are experts at helping all students. We can ensure an applicant receives the highest level of success given their academic record and qualifications. It’s best to start early. We also work with those students who have other aspirations.
