Navigating the college application process can be challenging. Make sure you’re ready for the college application season by joining Mary Pat O’Neil’s webinars and interactive workshops.
Mary Pat O’Neil, owner of True Fit College Counseling and founder of the Find Your Fit program, is passionate about helping teens discover their college paths as she knows there is no “one size fits all” approach to college counseling.
Mary Pat is a community resource and is happy to answer questions about the college process. You can email her at findyourfit@lwsf.org.
I think it is important for students to take control of the college application process and know what they need in a college in order to have a better chance of success. Students need to own the process – I am here to guide them.
