Why Get Help from an Independent College Admissions Counselor?

Gaining admission to college has become extremely competitive and unpredictable, even for the very best students.  For highly selective colleges and universities, great grades and high standardized test scores no longer are enough.  Thousands of high-achieving students apply—each one more impressive than the next.  But the acceptance rate at the elite colleges typically is between only seven and fourteen percent, and decreases each year.  The admissions process at less competitive colleges, too, has become increasingly selective, and schools that traditionally were thought of as “safety schools” are no longer a sure thing.  High school guidance counselors often lack sufficient time to give much personalized help to each student.  Also, students with specialized interests, talents or needs require additional personalized guidance.

Why use College Dimensions?

Through personalized strategic planning, research, and guidance during each phase of the application process, College Dimensions can help you increase the likelihood of success and reduce the overall stress of the process for you and your family.  Dona Heller, the President of College Dimensions, is an Ivy League-educated former business attorney with extensive understanding of the college admissions process and the ability to get along well with kids.

  • help you to research, identify, and visit a balanced group of colleges that are well-suited to you and include "reach schools," "good bets," and "likelies."
