Q. I don't live in the Phoenix area. Can I still work
with the college workshop®? |
 |
A. |
Of course! We've helped students across the
country and around the world - from Flagstaff to New York City
to Toronto to Brussels to Jakarta. As long as you have access
to a phone and access to either e-mail or a fax machine, you can
get our help with every aspect of your applications.

Q. But wouldn't it be better if I worked with
a counselor in my own area? |
 |
A. |
Our non-local clients have done just as well
as our local clients. And, we believe that there is not another
college counseling service out there that does quite what we do
in quite the same way. We can say with assurance that working
with the college workshop®
from afar can produce the same outstanding results as working
with us in the Phoenix area. Plus, we've been using the phone, email, videoconferencing, and fax to work with students outside of the greater Phoenix area for several years already.
Of course, in these days of e-commerce, it is easy to be victimized
by Internet scams and fraud, so we will be happy to provide references
so that you can check us out.

Q. How is the college workshop®
different from other educational consultants? |
| |
A. |
1. |
Our approach to college admissions defies the
conventional wisdom. We believe that since you are buying, what
you need matters above all else. And that's been our (very successful)
approach since we opened our doors in 1988.
|
| 2. |
We work with a handful of students only. We
don't churn out search lists or applications as if we're
a factory.
|
| 3. |
We are not into packaging or strategizing;
we are into helping you put out the best applications of which
you are capable, teaching you life-long skills in the process.
|
| 4. |
What we teach - research, self-presentation,
intelligent decision-making, and writing - are skills that will
serve you well beyond the college application process.
|
| 5. |
And, as cheesy as it sounds, we care deeply
about "our kids."
See what students and parents
who have worked with us say.

Q. Can you guarantee that I'll be accepted? |
 |
A. |
No. There are no guarantees in college admissions
and you should avoid any counselor who makes such promises. We
can say that we will do our utmost to ensure that you put out
the best applications of which you are capable, which will maximize
your chances of acceptance.

you help me? How? |
 |
A. |
Yes! We can help you with almost every aspect
of your application process - from finding programs to advising
you on your essays to helping you secure outstanding recommendations.

get into some of the finest graduate schools in the country. (See
