"College Counseling not only helped me figure out what’s going on during those crazy months, but also encouraged me to explore options that I’ve never thought of. From college search to filling out various types of applications, College Counseling prepared me for future opportunities with an open mindset, as well as various life skills that could be employed during college and after."

"Linden Hall's college counseling program helped me exponentially. Since LH has such a tight-knit community, you're able to get as much help as you need! Ms. Smith was always helpful and gave great insights. I can confidently say that because of her, as well as my teachers' determination to see me follow my dreams, I was able to get into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Now I'm able to help other people in many communities also follow their dreams!"

"As an incoming upperclassman, one word loomed over my head in regards to the admissions process, and that was "stress." I had no idea where to start and how to pick the right college for me. The college counseling program at Linden Hall demystified the process for me by firstly helping me create a list of schools that catered towards my needs. I was successfully able to move on to the essay-drafting process, where I received assistance and feedback every step of the way. With a weekly class dedicated to all things college admissions, I not only received information on how to cultivate applications to stand out in the ever competitive college-admissions process, but also received feedback from our counselor on everything from the common app, financial aid, and standardized testing options. I am so grateful to the college counseling program at Linden Hall for helping me get ahead of the game, allowing me to successfully apply to a wide variety of colleges I loved, and ultimately committing to my perfect match."

"Each student is given the responsibility of self-directing what they will study and how advanced their classes would be during their years at Linden Hall. This sense of responsibility and self-planning will be reflected in college and beyond, since it all comes to personal choices regarding what we do with our opportunities in school and in life; whether we seek out new routes for ourselves, rise to challenges, or give ourselves rest, we are faced with the responsibility to shoulder the weight of our decisions and follow through with them."
