The College Counseling Program is offered to assist every TKA student in selecting and gaining admission to colleges. The College Counseling Program begins during a student’s freshman and sophomore year with general information provided in a large group setting. Formal and individual guidance begins during a student’s junior year—primarily during the second semester. During the fall of the senior year, the college counselor will assist students in narrowing their college choices, completing applications, and obtaining school recommendations when required by colleges. All college applications are to be submitted to the College Counseling Office where the college counselor will then review them (unless submitted online) and send them out along with transcripts, letters of recommendation and test scores in one packet.

In addition to providing practical assistance, the college counselor will encourage students to be open-minded, considering various types and locations of colleges; to aim high in seeking college admission while remaining realistic about one’s chances of admission; encouraging college visits; and assisting the student in meeting all obligations and deadlines set by both the colleges and TKA.

The College Counseling Office will schedule numerous visits from college representatives throughout the fall and encourage students to visit colleges as well during school breaks or with proper permission, during school.

Attending a quality preparatory school alone does not guarantee college admission. Admission is based upon several factors such as students’ success in their academic classes, rigor of courses taken by the student, SAT/ACT scores, recommendation letters, extracurricular activities (looking for level of participation rather than number of activities), evidence of leadership, personal interviews, and character.
