If you want to find and be admitted to the perfect college for you, then you’ve come to the right place!  Headed For College provides expert college counseling.

There is not much that’s more important to a high school student than finding the perfect college and getting accepted.  But to be accepted, you have to make well-informed decisions throughout high school, be well prepared, create a strong application and write compelling essays.  You need an expert college counselor.

Planning for college should start before high school.  You’ll need to make decisions about classes, AP exams, SAT and ACT, SAT Subject Tests, activities, sports, leadership opportunities, how to spend your summers, and what really matters in high school.  The closer you get to senior year, the more important it is to have a comprehensive plan and to be well prepared for selecting and applying to colleges.  A good high school plan and an expert college counselor makes the college application process much easier. 

To be successful in finding the right college and being admitted to it, you need honest and expert advice from a caring and experienced college counselor who has extensive experience as an admissions officer.  Jennifer Tabbush, Founder and CEO of Headed For College, has reviewed over 15,000 applications, 50,000 essays and interviewed over 2,400 candidates for the MBA program at UCLA.  She is one of just 17 Certified Educational Planners in the State of California. She earned a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA and is a Certified Reader and former member of the read team for UCLA Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools for three years.  To have great college options, you need a college counselor that is dedicated and focused on you – and not distracted by hundreds of other students or other obligations.  Headed For College counselors have extensive knowledge of undergraduate programs and have reviewed and evaluated thousands of transcripts from universities all over the world.  We know what it takes to find the schools that are a good fit for you, to develop an applications strategy and to make sure that you write terrific essays.
