It’s a Project!

I use Project Management principles to guide my counseling practice.

• The college admissions process is a project with a beginning and an end.
• Students, parents, teachers and counselors are all stakeholders.
• We need to identify academic, cultural and financial fit requirements.
• We need to set SMART goals and meet milestones.
• Managing financial aid for college is all about risk mitigation.
• Ultimately, the student needs to take ownership and responsibility for managing the project.

… because yes, managing the college admissions process is a big project!!
