The Value of Cardinal College Planning

Personalized Attention:

This is a very time consuming and intricate process, and, the truth is, most school counselors simply don't have enough time to give individual guidance for the large amount of students they have. The United States has an average student-to-counselor ratio of 464:1, significantly higher than the American School Counselor Association's recommendation of 250-to-1. I will prioritize your student's personal needs through each step of the way!
