College Counseling

Jeanette is an active member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, and the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling.

My philosophy in counseling a student toward college is that he or she is seeking a job as a college student, and therefore use a model more akin to outplacement than to conventional educational models. Using a combination of personality and interest tests, we try to teach the students to see themselves in a larger context of what they have to offer the world. In life one makes a living on one's strengths, and college should be around the development of those strengths. Because I give preference to previous families and professional referrals in putting together my college work load each year, I have little space for others at this time. Perhaps I can refer you to another person who could work with you. Transfer students can normally be accommodated if they have daytime hours free.
