Preparing Young Americans for a Complex World

Hello Friends- it's been a busy few weeks supporting students through final application deadlines. Will be posting information soon on CCARR's Junior Jumpstart program (beginning in April '17) designed to support Class of '18 students. Please contact us for questions through the website CCARRLLC.com or via email [email protected]
In the meantime, I thought I'd share this article as a worthy read and food for thought for students and families.
Regards, Mrs C

When students explore foreign cultures, they learn not just about others, but also about themselves.

Hello!! CARRLLC has had a busy fall supporting our students and families as they prepared 2017 college applications. Our high school seniors have now completed the application process feeling confident that they have thoroughly explored their options and had the tools to understand how to choose the education options that are best for them and their families.

From here on through January '17 CCARRLLC will be supporting our students exploring transfer options, summer abroad study and summer internships to support career success. If you are still unclear on which direction to go for college admissions it's NOT too late! Please send an email to [email protected] and we'll be glad to help you get some traction with a 20 minute complimentary consult. Beginning in February, CCARRLLC will begin Junior Jump Start for the Class of 2018 and our Career Transitions Support for 2017 new College Graduates.

Wishing you all a very Peaceful Holiday and Happy New Year!!

Wanted to wish our CCARR students and all students taking the SAT tomorrow the very best of luck! Making an effort to do your best on the SAT (and/or ACT) is a good strategy for maximizing your college choices, however, also remember that there are LOTS of great colleges that can offer you the academics and college experiences to gain skills for career and life success. It's all about finding the right "fit" for you!! CCARR is all about supporting students and families navigate the college going process for a successful future so please contact us. We love to help and are happy to offer a complimentary consultation to hear about each student and discuss strategies and services to support your journey to college and career success. Send us a message via Facebook or our website to schedule your student's consultation today

It's Too Easy to Apply to College

Very interesting article.
The Independent Education Consultants Association CEO offers insight.

Students—especially those who are economically disadvantaged—and universities are hurt by how simple it is to apply to schools online.

For rising seniors, this means an exciting time ahead where there's much anticipation of the culmination of students' academic, extra- curricular and community achievements and transition to the next phase of college, career and future life goals.

Enjoyed a fabulous learning opportunity at the IECA -Independent Educational Consultants Association Summer Institute this week. The Summer Institute took place at beautiful Swarthmore College in suburban Philadephia and I was enormously fortunate to learn so much from the dynamic faculty and also met over 100 new college advising colleagues from all over the US as well as international consultants. So looking forward to offering even greater support to Fredericksburg area students and families embarking on their college selection journey beginning in September! Further details coming soon - Noreen
