Doesn’t my high school have a counseling office that can help?
Absolutely, your high school’s counseling office is a great resource. However, it doesn’t offer the personalized attention that an educational consultant provides. With an average counselor-to-student ratio exceeding 400:1 at public schools (and slightly lower at private schools), counselors simply lack the necessary time, resources, and expertise to provide optimal guidance for each student.
High school guidance counselors are often overwhelmed with large caseloads and limited resources, preventing them from offering customized and individualized attention. While they can be helpful, they cannot provide the continuous, strategic, and comprehensive support needed to maximize students’ chances of college admission. This shortfall also impacts the financial aid opportunities available to students.
Drs. Jeff and Brian Haig go beyond developing a tailored, winning strategy for each student. They also help highlight and market each student’s strengths and achievements, giving them a competitive edge in the college admissions process.

Can a college consultant guarantee my child admission to a specific school?
