Choosing a Good-Fit College

​

Selecting a college is one of the most important decisions – and one of the largest investments – students make. Jona Jacobson of jj College Admission Advising LLC specializes in helping students find colleges where they not only fit in, but also thrive. Students and parents need to spend a significant amount of time focusing on which colleges or universities best fit a student’s interests and needs. Understanding how much families are willing and able to budget for college should also be an important part of every discussion. As an independent college admission consultant, Jona provides the necessary counseling students and parents require at all stages of the college selection and application process to help ensure the best fit.
