There are more than 2,200 four-year colleges and universities in the United States . Narrowing down the list of schools to consider is critical . Our program at Brebeuf Jesuit seeks to demystify that process and to support and guide students and families in a sequential, structured way during their four years here . One hundred percent of students who apply to college are accepted, most into their first-choice school . Because each student is unique, the best college is the college that best meets the needs, talents, and interests of the student . We help students assess their gifts, talents, interests, and strengths . Then we guide the search for colleges that match their interests . We will spend an average of 40-50 hours with each student during the four-year program . Our goal is to provide a personalized process through which we support students and families in finding colleges that are a good fit for the student . We help students navigate through self-assessment, research, testing, applying, and choosing a college . We focus on ensuring the best college match for every student . Our job is to encourage, guide, question, suggest, and inform . We are honest in our assessment of each student’s chances for admission at chosen colleges . Please know that we are here to support and guide students and their parents through the college search and admission process .
