College Counseling

The BrownMiller Group offers an assessment for determining the ideal major and college environment.  High school students experience an assessment process that they can use throughout their college career and beyond to make informed career decisions.

The process usually involves:

  • An initial career counseling session to explain the process of career decision-making and how it relates to college choice.  The student is provided the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong interest Inventory to complete and return to the BrownMiller office.
  • A second session to interpret the MBTI with a focus on the student’s unique personality characteristics and how they relate to both educational and career choices.  Discussion will focus on careers that fit but other relevant topics such as learning styles, living with a roommate and managing time and stress may also be discussed.
  • A third session to interpret the Strong Interest Inventory relating the student’s interest patterns to career choices.  This information can be used to identify college majors and extracurricular activities that will provide the student with experience in their areas of interest, making them more marketable.  A research plan into these areas of interest may be developed.

Parents are welcome at all of these career counseling sessions but are particularly encouraged to attend the third counseling session because it includes a summary of the counseling and suggestions of additional resources and action steps.

Each session is an hour and the fee per session is $85.  Inventories are $45 per inventory.  Appointments are available during late afternoons and on Saturday mornings.

 

The BrownMiller Group, CSS Tutoring Services, and College Connections have combined their expertise to provide The College Counseling Package, a comprehensive college planning service for high school students.  This package includes career counseling and vocational testing, an SAT or ACT prep class and coaching on college selection, application materials and essays.
