College Planning

College Planning at Valencia Tutors includes a lengthy list of services that takes the student through the entire planning process. Often times this begins as early as freshman or sophomore year, and we are happy to start the college planning process junior / senior years as well.

The best advice we can give you is to START EARLY! College Planning at Valencia Tutors includes digital assessment to discover and affirm college and career targets. Perhaps, the important area of college planning is analysis of the student’s high school transcript and comparing it with college admissions data to estimate the trend of acceptance or rejection.

Often times, we uncover surprising odds of acceptance / rejection rates based on the latest research and statistics. Essays, scholarships, letters of recommendation, interviews… and of course… all the applications are included in our College Planning Services.

Our College Planning process will analyze, plan and guide your student through the complete college application cycle, beginning with SAT ACT Test Prep and College Matching to Applications and Scholarships.
