College Counseling Services

College Research
We research the offerings and facilities of colleges and universities by personal visits combined with the added expertise of professional colleagues all over the USA and Canada. We formulate balanced college lists that are tailored to the needs of each student. A special interest of Insiders Network is to provide LD students and those with ADD/ADHD with up-to-date information about student services, accommodations, and specific programs and their staffing.

Interviewing Skills
Our one-on-one sessions with students help prepare them for interviews, a critical component of the college application process. This includes a mock interview with potential questions that a student might encounter as well as what to expect during a campus tour and visit.

Application Preparation
We guide students through the college application process.  This includes meeting deadlines, and proofreading the final application.  We provide a resource list of professionals who specialize in the college essay.  We also advise students on standardized testing options and optimal testing schedules.

Resume Writing
We work with students to develop an effective resume.  The resume is used to a)provide a summary of the applicant’s background to supplement the college application, b) help teachers formulate strong letters of recommendation, and c) provide a framework to present to admissions staff during the campus or alumni  interview.

Student Profile
The resource binder covers the entire spectrum of the college research process. This comprehensive resource is tailored to each client and includes standardized testing dates, sample essays and tips, advice for campus visits, sample interview questions, a sample Common Application and lists of Common Application schools, and specific information for students with Learning Disabilities and/or ADD/ADHD, like suggested questions for the Disability Director, and types and levels of support and programs.

Follow-Up
We track and interact with college students who used our services to ensure the college they selected delivers the support services enumerated in the application and selection process.
