High School Juniors: Now is the Time to Vote for Your Future!


The students who have the most success when applying to colleges are those who have taken the time to analyze their preferences, personality, and overall goals. Tactical College Consulting offers students the opportunity to do just that. The Tactical College Consulting Strategy Session also evaluates a student's learning style, academic interests, past academic performance, academic potential, and extracurricular profile in order to pinpoint the colleges the student should be targeting for undergraduate admission.

Our one-of-a-kind introductory Strategy Session includes personal interviews with the student and his/her parent(s), a personality assessment, and administration of the student C.Q. (College Quotient) exam and Parents’ Expectation Questionnaire. This meeting is also the opportunity for parents and the student to inform the consultant of any particular concerns they may have regarding the college admissions process (questions about grades, SAT scores, LD accommodations that may be required at college, or other client-specific issues). The information gathered during the Strategy Session can then be synthesized and integrated with client-specific research to develop a list of "best fit" colleges, a week-by-week college admissions calendar, and a personalized college admissions strategy. The Strategy Session is ideal for juniors who have completed their last PSAT or who have taken their first SAT or ACT.

If you could use the guidance provided by our Strategy Session, or if you would like to learn more about our full menu of services, call us at 410-526-2558 or email us at info@tacticalcc.com.
