COGNITIVE COLLEGE ADVISING

BEGINNING THE SCHOOL SEARCH PROCESS? Cognitive College Advising is an independent college consulting firm which creates structure around the entire college search and selection process. Our firm is built on the premise that each student is an individual with a unique set of interests and skills, some of which have not yet been discovered! We make the college search and selection process enjoyable and fun.

How do you decide where to apply? How do you present yourself in your applications in a way that sets you apart? Which college is the right one for you, personally? We help you figure this all out, widening your lens of college choices.

Our mission at Cognitive College Advising is to guide students in finding the right collegiate fit that will help them thrive, think, develop skills and ultimately launch into the global economy. We provide a strategic understanding of the college admissions process in order to maximize students’ opportunities for discovering their best post-secondary fit.

CCA provides in-depth college major and preliminary career explanation and exploration, guiding students through inventories to help them sort out which majors and ultimately, which careers may be of interest once they graduate.

Students often think, “I don’t know what I like to do…or, I know what I like but I don’t even know what these other majors mean.” We help by breaking down the process into easily manageable steps.

We build and develop your student’s self-efficacy as he or she moves through the search and selection process, empowered and with a strong foundation for making the best possible college decision.

• We administer in-depth surveys and learning-style assessments to get a feel for what interests your child and sparks his or her curiosity.
• We say knowledge is power and knowing and owning the best way you learn is a powerful motivator for each student as he or she goes through the college search process.
• Once this understanding is gained, students can continue to maximize which modalities they need to enhance, support or augment in order to maximize their learning.

“I was so pleased with the guidance and support you gave my son while going through the college application process. He was very comfortable working with you, which is so critical. You took the stress away with all of your knowledge and positive encouragement! Thank you for all of your help. My other son will be working with you very soon! Highland Park High School
