Working with a college prep coach can provide several advantages for high school students as they navigate the complex process of preparing for and applying to college. Here are some reasons why it can be advantageous:

Goal Setting and Planning: College prep coaches can help students set realistic academic and extracurricular goals, develop a timeline for standardized testing and application deadlines, and create a strategic plan for college admissions. This can help students stay organized and focused throughout the process.
