FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Getting into college has gotten more confusing. For students seeking admission into the university of their dreams, the competition has never been tougher, nor the obstacles higher. What they need is expert college admissions counseling.
Today, AcademicInfluence.com announces guidance for students seeking assistance from an admissions consultant:
How to Choose a College Admissions Consultant
David Nguyen, Ph.D., founder of Next Level Prep, provides expert insight into the admissions consultant field, discussing the rising need for admissions counseling, how the field of consulting works, and what a consultant offers.
“High test scores aren’t good enough, anymore. They only give you the opportunity to be a candidate,” says Nguyen. “College admissions offices want applicants who will make a university look good. Consultants know the best practices to give students an edge in the college admissions race. Consultants see through the smoke and mirrors that universities display in order to get people to apply and to boost their own public relations gains. Consultants also understand the immense pressure that parents and children are under to demonstrate perfection.”
How to Choose a College Admissions Consultant covers such topics as
- The purpose of an admissions consultant,
- Test prep,
- Application assistance,
- Career coaching,
- Internship placements,
- Study discipline,
- Overcoming learning disabilities,
- Student mental health,
- How to spot a caring, qualified consultant or agency,
- And much more.
In addition, How to Choose a College Admissions Consultant is part of a complete series of guides offered by AcademicInfluence.com covering all aspects of the college admissions process. These include:

And for students attending U.S. universities from abroad, the Guide to College for International Students is packed with specialized help for navigating the admissions process.
