WHY HIRE KAREN CURRERI AND CURRERI EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING:
Karen Curreri is a developmental counselor whose philosophy is based on the belief that what is learned on the college search and application journey is just as important as the outcome of that journey. This philosophy helps to create a win-win situation in which the student learns decision- making, communication, and leadership skills that have positive lifelong effects. Our emphasis, which is based on human growth and development theory, helps to alleviate a great deal of the stress that is typically associated with the competitive nature of college admissions. Our statistics indicate that approximately 98% of our students get into their first or second choice school. We feel that our success can be attributed to the following factors:
1. Early preparation. Karen’s methodology takes a developmental approach to college admissions. She likes to start working with students the summer between eighth and ninth grades, so that opportunities for short and long term planning can best take place. Most of all, early preparation reduces stress. Too often, high schools do not begin the college search process until sophomore or junior year at which time it may be too late to help the student reach their goals, or even to make an educated decision about which college best meets their needs. Late planning also creates a feeling of panic, a need to rush and the inability to enjoy what should be a fun experience. Early preparation also creates confidence, and a confident student is one who is most likely to be accepted to the college of their choice.
2. It’s a Family Thing. Curreri Educational Consulting’s mission is to educate the student and the parent/s. Because Karen’s background is in developmental counseling, she realizes that the college search, application, acceptance and decision making process is a transitional time in the student and parents’ lives. Students are trying to establish a sense of independence and parents need to learn to let go. CEC is there to assist both students and parents.
3. Two Decades of Experience. Karen has worked in private, parochial and public schools as an academic dean and college counselor and as the Director of College Counseling. She has experienced life from both sides of the desk; as an independent counselor and as a school counselor. Her 30+ years in the field of education, coupled with her national and international experience, has helped Karen to earn the respect of college admissions personnel as well as school counselors. She is able to communicate, collaborate and consult effectively with all members of the student’s educational team.
Due to the customized nature of Curreri Educational Consulting’s educational planning, student acceptance is highly sought after and competitive. CEC only accepts a limited number of new students each year. Acceptance standards are based on the following three criteria:
• Interview
• Application
• Committee evaluation
