College Admission Planning

Initial Consultation

All packages require a one-time initial consultation. At this initial consultation, information will be gathered regarding the student's academics, extra-curricular activities, accolades, test scores, and college goals. Our consultant will discuss available services that would best fit the student's needs. There is a one-time non-refundable fee to be paid at the time of this meeting. This fee will be fully credited toward the purchase of a Comprehensive package.

Panhandle Educational Consulting Sevices is available for hourly consultation services to provide information and advice about the college search and application process.

CUSTOMIZED SERVICE BLOCKS

Purchase a pre-paid four-hour block of time to be used for any college service that you need. The choice is yours! Possibilities include:
Mock Interview
Resume Development
Essay Brainstorming
Essay Editing
College Application Review
Academic/Testing advice

Since payment for this option is non-refundable, it is the responsibility of the family to make arrangements for the time to be used. In some cases, such as editing, this will be a non-meeting time.
