Exploring Options with an Independent College Consultant: Postgrad vs. Gap Year
Deciding between a postgrad year and a gap year requires careful consideration of your student’s interests, goals, and readiness for college. Discuss the pros and cons of each option together, weighing factors such as academic preparedness, desired experiences, and long-term aspirations. College is not the only step after your high school senior year.

The Benefits of Self-Study and Independent Learning
These passion projects, which are ambitious projects that high school students create and complete outside of the classroom, can guide students toward fields of study they are interested in (like political science, marine biology, and engineering). The independent research projects can also confirm that certain majors might not be for them.
“These types of projects are a wonderful opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a field of interest,” says Lee Norwood, owner of Annapolis College Consulting. “In some cases, it serves to confirm a student’s interest in a field and clarifies a degree path.” In other words, independent study projects and courses can serve as tools of self-discovery for high school students before they invest in a pricey degree.
How Many AP Classes Should My Student Take?
How many AP classes are enough? There is no straight answer to this question. Look into what your high school offers. Talk to your counselor about the rigor of your classes and your school-life balance.

You Got Deferred…Now What?
You Got Deferred...Now What? You worked hard over the Summer. You rocked your supplemental essays. You applied early to the schools on your list. And then the news; you got deferred from your dream school. What? You had super high scores! Your mom went to that school!...
Deferred…
Getting deferred is not the end of the world. The college application process is stressful for the student and the admissions department. Sometimes they need a bit more time to compare you to the students in the regular decision pool before they can give you a “yes”.
Deferred…it is NOT the end.
Your college application finds itself in the realm of uncertainty—deferred. The initial wave of early admissions has unfolded, and while some celebrate acceptance and others confront rejection, you linger in a state of limbo. It's a peculiar space in college...

The Turkey Trick: Gobbling up College Applications before Thanksgiving!
It’s just about Thanksgiving and it’s wise to spend this break from school working on college admissions essays for the Regular Decision cycle. This applies to all students — even those who applied through Early Decision and Early Action policies. Why’s that, you ask? Because you won’t have time to write strong admissions essays to a host of schools to which you apply Regular Decision after you find out your Early Decision or Early Action decision(s).
