Between them, our Dean and Associate Dean of College Counseling have more than 30 years in the field and relationships with a wide network of colleges. We provide direct access to college admissions officers on our campus, through 160 small group meetings in 2021-22, the majority of which were in-person.
Burke also hosts a summer College Application Workshop for rising seniors, providing support with essay-writing and practice interviewing with real admissions officers.
