Why Independent College Advising?
The Challenge: Overwhelmed Guidance Counselors
The national average caseload for a traditional school college and career counselor is over 300 students. How can a guidance counselor provide individualized service with so many students assigned to them? They can't.
Students don't get the time and support they need from guidance counselors, and they're left to navigate this complex process alone.
