The purpose of college counseling at University School is more than helping students get into college.  We hope to help students develop the skills and insights necessary to make important decisions about  their lives and to help them set realistic goals—both short-term and  long range. 

We also aim to help students maintain a balanced  perspective on the selection process.  We want them to realize that  rarely is there one and only one right school, but rather several schools at which they can find what they are seeking.  Central to the program is the student’s taking responsibility for the search and the application process
