So you're thinking about leaving New Mexico for college?

You are in an elite group. According to the College Board, approximately 18.6% of New Mexican high school graduates attend college out of state. In the 2008-2009 school year, just under 6000 New Mexican juniors took the PSAT test (the practice test for the SAT), and about 2000 seniors took the SATs. Of those 2000 students, 56% sent their scores to UNM, 27.5% to New Mexico State, and 9% to New Mexico Tech – the three most popular schools. (The most popular out of state private schools were Stanford, Harvard, Brown, New York University, and University of Denver – in that order.) Most private colleges seek representation from all 50 states in America, and there aren't that many students leaving New Mexico to go.

In America there is a college out there for every student -- regardless of academic or financial profile. With more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States (and lots of colleges in other countries), finding and applying to appropriate colleges is daunting. Acting as a guide and advocate, I provide information, support, and effective strategies to help make applying to college less stressful – and possibly even an enjoyable and exciting experience. As an independent college counselor, I provide the skills, knowledge, and commitment for each student and family to successfully navigate the steps to college -- from high school preparation to college enrollment.
