College Representative Information

A Comprehensive Approach

The landscape of college admissions has changed significantly over the past 20 years. Many selective colleges have doubled or even tripled the number of applications they receive each year hence becoming ultra-competitive, and those that were seen as “safety schools” have now become increasingly selective as well. This can certainly cause a good deal of stress for families.

Through a series of developmentally appropriate seminars, parent information nights, guest speakers, panel discussions, individual student and family meetings, and other programming, the Moravian Academy College Counseling Office works to inform our community about the latest trends in college admissions and the nuts and bolts of the process in general. We see our role as educators who help to lessen the anxiety and demystify the process for parents and students.

The college counseling program provides comprehensive and informed assistance throughout the entire college search, selection, and application process. Students use the latest technology for their research and applications as they explore colleges and universities that will suit their talents, interests, and career plans. We see this process as one of growth and exploration that empowers students to take ownership of their search and eventually make informed decisions about a college or university that is the most appropriate fit for them. Once graduates arrive at the colleges of their choice, they are wholly prepared to take on new academic challenges.
