1.      Why Sequoia Group

Sequoia’s success and growth have been based on:

 

Ø  Professionalism

Our professional counselors and experienced advisory group have worked at both the college level and pertinent professional areas. Our counselor is a professional member of IECA (Independent Educational Consultants Association), HECA (Higher Educational Consultants Association), NACAC (National Association for College Admission Consulting) This has enabled us to have unique insight into the wide range of possibilities that exist as well as an understanding of how decisions are made on the applications in boarding schools and colleges.

 

Ø  Personalized Approach

Sequoia’s one-on-one format and team of professionals allows the approach to be adjusted based on every individual’s goals, academic and personal abilities, aptitude, interests, individual situation, preferences, socio economic condition, and life style.

 

Ø  Technology

Sequoia utilizes the latest technology to help you discover your goals, identify opportunities, and keep track of the progress of completing the college admissions and financial aid process. Sequoia developed psychological tests, such as SAAT (Study-Abroad Aptitude Test), LAAT (Learning Achievement Aptitude Test), SIPT (Sequoia Integrated Psychological Test) and a major assessment, SMAT (Sequoia Major Assessment Test)

 

Sequoia counselors are there for you every step of the way as expert advisors, managers, intermediaries, and supporters, so you can avoid stress and reach the best possible outcome.

 

 

 

2.      What Sequoia Group Does

 

Finding and choosing the right college is one of students’ most important decisions – it affects personal development, career opportunities, and life goals. It’s also a challenging task. Determining your interests and abilities, weighing your chances for admission, and assessing financial capabilities all affect your ultimate decision.

 

Ø  Choosing right college affects personal development and career goals.

When it comes to research and explore colleges, separating the helpful information from the marketing or media hype can be difficult. Colleges and universities are using increasingly sophisticated marking tools and techniques to attract students, so it can be difficult to determine which schools offer the best fit and the best opportunity for admission

 

Ø  College admission consulting can help.

At the Sequoia Group, our trained, experienced college counselors help students and their families find, choose, and apply to the schools that best match their needs and desires. We implement scientific psychological tests (SAAT/LAAT/SIPT), academic assessment tests (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) and language proficiency tests (SLEP/SRI/PELT) and stress out of the important college selection and admissions process.
