Why hire an independent counselor to guide you through the college application process?

A school guidance counselor may have professional capability to guide students through college planning, but within the confines of the school systems and due to increased caseloads, counselors may not have the time to assist individual students through the intricate process of selecting the best college for your scholar within the school day.
