University Counseling

Our distinctive international program positions WIS students very favorably in the applicant pool for college and university admission. Graduates report that they are much better prepared and more confident than many of their college peers, more organized, more disciplined, better able to write and express themselves orally, and better equipped with research skills.

This strong preparation qualifies our students to be highly selective in the college admissions process. With the guidance of the university counseling staff, they find the right match from a mix of highly competitive Ivy League colleges and universities, schools specializing in the arts and prestigious universities throughout the world.

Philosophy

The goal of the university counseling office is for students to apply, be accepted, and ultimately attend a college or university where they will be both academically successful and socially happy. We firmly believe there are a number of outstanding choices that will represent the right choice for each student.

Central to the counseling process are the students. Through open communication and investigation we want them to formulate and articulate clear hopes and desires, engage enthusiastically in the college search, and meet deadlines responsibly. Parental support also plays an important part in the decision making.

The move to higher education is an exciting time. Our role, as university counselors, is to guide, counsel, suggest and inform. We look forward to working closely with both students and parents throughout the process.
