BACKGROUND:
Beginning September 2005, College Bound Consulting (CBC) opened for
business to direct middle and high school students on their journey
toward higher education. Individual and group services are unique
aspects of the program packages which ensure students take necessary
grade level steps to be eligible to attend a four-year university.
Additionally, CBC will host parent workshops on financial aid and
provide up-to-date information on the demanding college expectations.
With the
cost of test preparation and college admission services, CBC has made a
point to be priced competitively in comparison to other educational
related companies while incorporating critical life skills in individual
and group settings. These meetings allow students to enhance their
ability to pursue, expand and deepen their academic experience,
extracurricular interests and future career opportunities.
As college
expectations and entrance exams become more and more challenging, the
service College Bound Consulting provides is of great assistance.
College requirements are constantly changing and therefore students must
stay informed at every step. In this increasingly competitive
environment it is essential that students remain eligible to attend
college. Oftentimes parents and students feel overwhelmed to met
these requirements because the information is not easily accessible.
