College Counseling
Step 1: EDS can help you find the right college. It starts with your aptitude, not your attitude. Take an Aptitude Assessment.
Step 2: Then, EDS will match your aptitude with a career and major. Do not waste years and money on a major that does not suit you.
Step 3: With GPA, SAT or ACT scores and your aptitude, EDS will create a list of colleges of interest.
Step 4: Worried about financially paying for college? Get help with FAFSA and Bright Futures applications. Bright Futures alone can provide up to $30,000 over its 4 year term.
Step 5: Do you want to attend a Florida university such as FSU, UF, UCF, UNF? With academic requirements increasing every year, EDS can help you receive college credit through CLEP while in high school.
Step 6: Worried about those college applications? Get help with the application process, including writing and editing your essays*, formatting your resume, and proofing your application before submitting.
Step 7: Deciding where to attend. EDS will assist the decision on where to attend. What is the best fit for you- academically, socially, and financially?
Step 8: Determine what accommodations are needed for college and whether and how the school provides such.
Which road will you take for success?
