The consulting process focuses on the student. We seek placement where
the student will find the best resources for personal and academic
success, and where the family will be confident in its choice*. The process
includes:
- INTERVIEWS WITH THE
PARENT (and the student if appropriate) to identify needs
and goals, including academic, social, geographic and financial considerations.
- EVALUATION
of transcripts, reports and recommendations, current testing,
activities, and interests.
- REFERRALS,
if necessary, for further testing, tutoring, and/or admissions test coaching.
- DEVELOPMENT OF A LIST
of appropriate schools or programs.
- GUIDANCE AND
INSTRUCTION in preparing applications, writing admissions
essays, visiting schools, and interviewing.
- HELP WITH ARRANGEMENTS
for admissions testing, including individual administration of the Secondary
School Admissions Test (SSAT), and for visiting schools.
- ONGOING CONTACT
with admissions offices throughout the process.
- CONSULTATION
with the family on the final choice of school or program.
 FOLLOW-UP
for as much as a full year after placement to monitor the
"fit" for the family and the student.
*Please note that Dobson Educational Services cannot
guarantee either admission or success in a school or program.
