An IECA educational consultant spends hours with the applicant and family getting to the heart of the student’s personality, interests, qualifications, and aspirations. A successful admission begins with the consultant learning as much as they can about the student, then works to find the college or university that provides the best environment for the student’s educational, social, professional, and personal growth. It’s not only about being accepted—more importantly, it’s about thriving at the college that is the right fit for you.
An IECA consultant spends 20 percent of their time on the road, meeting with admissions officers, touring campuses, and exploring the campus environment. Therefore, consultants have extensive, firsthand knowledge of colleges and universities, big and small, around the country. This personal insight provides clients with a much deeper understanding than any catalog or website can convey. Because consultants are familiar with a multitude of colleges, they can present applicants with a much wider selection of possibilities and provide vital help in weighing factors such as cost, location, and curriculum.
