Finding your perfect collegiate fit can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. With over 5,300 colleges and universities in the United States, how do you narrow down your college selection choices and make a decision that aligns with your goals, values, and potential? How can you take an objective look at your goals, values, and potential to know what’s truly important? At On Track College Advising, we believe the key lies in first empowering and nurturing your own inner advocate.
What Is An Inner Advocate?
Your inner advocate is the voice you “hear” inside. The one that knows what you truly want and need. It’s the part of you that can envision your future success and happiness. Often, it’s the voice that gets drowned out and lost in the whirlwind of college applications, recruitment deadlines, and advice from well-meaning friends and family.
Our mission at On Track College Advising is to help you tune into your inner advocate and to explore those inclinations, through self-discovery, and emphasize the things that rise to the top. We’re here to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and support you need to make informed decisions about your future.
The Power of Self-Discovery
The college selection process isn’t just about choosing a school—it’s an opportunity for self-discovery. As you explore different colleges and universities, academic programs, and campus cultures, you’ll inevitably learn more about yourself in the process. Here are a few of the self-discovery topics we touch on in our 8-step process:
- What truly motivates you?
- What are some of your personal priorities?
- What kind of environment do you thrive in?
- What values are most important to you?
We help you dig deep and answer these questions and more. As you consider how you’ll venture into the college selection process, it’s important to remember there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your journey is as unique as you are, and your choices should reflect that.
Navigating Family Dynamics
When it comes right down to it, choosing a college isn’t just about you. It often involves your entire immediate family. It’s not uncommon to have a difference of opinions as you start talking about some of these next steps. Your parents might have their heart set on their alma mater, while you’re dreaming of a school on the opposite coast.
At On Track College Advising, we are here as a neutral third party, helping to facilitate productive conversations between you and your family to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard while keeping the focus on what’s best for you, the student.
