Great work, Confluence clients!

This year, all of my senior clients decided to apply early (by early decision, early action, or just submitting a regular decision well ahead of the deadline) to their top-choice colleges. I am proud to report that 100% of my clients this year were accepted to their first-choice colleges. Congratulations to all!

I am pleased that my clients have been accepted to a range of different kinds of schools. This year’s list is the most eclectic I’ve had: Brown University, Colorado College, Maine Maritime Academy, Montana State University, Saint Michael’s College, and University of Washington. I think this list represents the range of students I work with, as well as the individual journeys they embark upon to find the post-graduation opportunities that best align with their academic interests, social styles, long-term goals, and financial circumstances.

Now that all my clients know where they’ll be attending college next year, our work together moves into a new phase. First, I’m helping families get the best possible financial package from the colleges. Once that’s done, students will begin planning for their transitions from high school to college, which includes at least five aspects: academic, social, physical, financial, and emotional. Together we’ll map out a plan for each of these.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with some incredible young people, and I am proud that each of them has been thoughtful and thorough, put their best foot forward on their applications, and made sure that their college process places them in a position to be successful, now and into the future. I can’t wait to see where their paths lead them!
