Dear Parents and Students:
Welcome to the college counseling process at Brunswick School. Whether
you have been through this process already with an older child or if
this is your first experience with the myriad issues that surround this
"rite of passage", we hope that you will find this area of
the Brunswick School website to be a helpful tool throughout this spring
and next fall.
In many ways, the college process seems daunting to students as well
as parents. Invariably at some point in the process there is an unavoidable
element of selection that can be either rewarding or potentially disappointing.
In other ways, however, the process may be looked upon as perhaps the
first opportunity in your son's life when he is in a position to make
significant decisions not only about how he will spend his next four
years but also about the direction of his life.
For most, the process will be a mixture of both sentiments to greater
or lesser degrees as we go forward. To that end, please rest assured
that we will be with him (and you as parents) every step of the way.
We, as well as a host of other adults in our community (from advisors
to coaches to teachers to Tom Philip), are committed to a successful
outcome for each and every boy in this senior class.
Finally, remember that THERE ARE NO "SILLY" QUESTIONS. Call
or come by any time. We genuinely welcome your calls and/or visits.
There is simply no replacement for frequent and honest communication
between all parties in the process.
