Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will my child still have to work on admission applications after this workshop?

A. Students should look through their applications over the span of several weeks to ensure they polish their application answers. I will walk them through every question, one-by-one and they will walk away with a significant amount of their application completed. Students will receive severa resources to take home that help them through the rest of their applications, post workshop. Their ticket also comes with a 1-hour one-on-one session with me for individualized support (They will get access to schedule this after the workshop)

Q. Does this replace 1-on-1 college counseling?

A. No. This session is interactive lecture-style with group work. During class and workshop, I will go around to each student and provide some individual help with questions on their applications, student resumes, and essays, but this does not replace individual coaching for the student's holistic situation.

Q. Does my child need to know all the schools they are applying to before this class?

A. No. While it is helpful for your child to know at least a few schools they want to apply to, this class helps them regardless if they have solidified the list of schools they will be applying to or not.

Just to let you know, while we will discuss how to determine if a college is a good fit or not, this class does NOT provide personal college suggestions. If you are interested in individualized 1-on-1 services, I offer packages to help you with your college planning needs.

Q. What does my child need to bring to this class?

A. Once you purchase your child's ticket, you will receive a welcome email with a list of the curriculum and full list of what to bring. A couple of important items will be a laptop or tablet, charger, journal or notepad, pens. Water and light snacks will be provided.

Q. Can parents attend this boot camp as well?

A. This is a student-only event. Parents will have access to all of the downloadable worksheets and resources. Parents may contact the presenter, Jackie Postelnick, with questions before or after the class. jackie@consciouscollegeplanning.com (847) 254-9541
