Kents Hill's college counseling goals are:
  • To make the process a positive experience for everyone.
  • To help students "own" the process.
  • To help students find the right fit or match for their higher education.
In doing so, Kents Hill offers:
  • Comprehensive oversight of the application process from start to finish for each student.
  • An experienced college counseling staff, with caseloads of 15-20 students, with additional expertise in extended time testing, international applicants (including financial aid), NCAA, scholarships, UCAS (and other foreign applications) and postgraduate/gap year programs.
  • A required Junior Seminar for all juniors, covering the college application process from start to finish.
  • A variety of test preparation programs.
  • All test registration; administration on-site or transportation to off-site locations for PSATs, SAT I and IIs, ACTs and TOEFL.
  • Memberships in NACAC, NEACAC and the College Board.

“Even though I wanted to delay my college process and sit back and relax, my college advisor kept with me and insisted that I search for and find seven or eight schools that I’d like to go to. I wasn’t quite sure what type of college I was looking for, but because she had gotten to know me over the years on a personal basis she was able to recommend a college that would meet all of my needs. Thanks to her advice, I am now going to attend Smith College, a school I would not have considered without her suggestion. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this process!”
