I can’t imagine going through the college process without Hs2. My counselor definitely presented the reality of the process to me, even when I didn’t like it. She helped me narrow down the number of colleges I applied to, and guided me in researching those that I liked. Although I had decent activities and grades, I had no idea how to present myself to colleges on paper. My counselor kept me on track; she set deadlines, and sent me emails to make sure I met those deadlines. She knew what colleges wanted to see, and helped edit my essays and activity descriptions to make sure that I shone. By the time most of my friends were starting their college essays, I was in the final stages of editing mine. As a result, I had time to focus on school and extracurricular activities, which only got more intense further along in my senior year. Hs2 helped me make the most efficient use of my time, while also providing me with the tools to be effective. The dream that I have always had is becoming a reality, and I couldn’t have done it on my own.
