College Admissions Counseling at GSB | NJ College Prep School

The college process is a time of self-reflection and self-discovery, a time for students to contemplate who they are and who they hope to become in the years ahead. While it can be accompanied by some challenging twists and turns, it is also exciting and personally rewarding.

At GSB, students are encouraged to approach the college process with open eyes, open ears, and an open mind.

Students in our Upper School are taught to lead with their strengths, embrace their own unique personalities, and consider their future goals as they pursue their college search and craft their applications. In turn, the counseling team provides active support and advocacy for each student’s process, through the end of senior year and on to college matriculation.

Our Process

FRESHMAN YEAR

SOPHOMORE YEAR

JUNIOR YEAR

Formal advising begins for students (and their families) in the winter of junior year. It is at this point when guidance staff collaborates with students and families to identify and investigate potential options.

In the spring, College Guidance facilitates a course aimed at addressing important life and career building skills including interview techniques, resume building, and career placement.

SENIOR YEAR

Seniors are given individual guidance and direction with applications, interviewing, fulfillment of required testing, and financial assistance applications when appropriate.

Essay writing workshops led by College Admission Officers are offered for rising Seniors in the summer preceding the school year.

College officials will visit throughout the fall semester to speak in detail with students about their institutions.
