College Counseling: the College Admissions Process
The information listed in this section will describe BB&N’s approach to college counseling in a way that will minimize the uncertainty which can surround the college selection process. The information is organized in a manner that will take you through all components of the “college admission journey.”
The key to successful college selection rests on good communication among the four parties involved: the student, the parent(s), the counselor, and the college(s). This process can be an exciting journey as you discover the educational opportunities that are available to you. We consider it an honor to be part of your planning.
Students are assigned a college counselor midway through their junior year. For the next fifteen months, the college counselor works with each student individually to explore post-BB&N options, prepare for the college application and admission process, understand financial aid and loan options, and make enrollment decisions.
