College Counseling at R-MA
College counseling is a critical part of the overall college readiness program at R-MA and for good measure. Students need quality guidance and the proper support to navigate their college preparation and application process. That’s why the counselor at R-MA is well-equipped to provide this support in the required shape.
From rendering help with college essays, interviews, and the application process, our counselor goes even further, helping students identify the right college to match their career aspirations. Our counselor also works closely with students to develop plans for their academic and non-academic life. Students get clarity on critical college-related issues after meeting with a counselor, which helps them make the right moves going forward.
Visits to Campus by College Admission Representatives
R-MA organizes university fairs for students every year, and these events provide an opportunity for students to have a good look into their college prospects. During these fairs, representatives from several top schools converge on campus and hold discussions with aspiring college students.
These discussions mostly revolve around admission requirements, general school life, academic programs, and other subjects that interest students. Students get clarity on important college-related inquiries, and many become even more motivated to succeed academically.
Exams to Prepare for College
Students’ SAT, ACT, and AP exams go a long way in determining if their college applications will be accepted. R-MA is a renowned preparatory school committed to giving its students the best placement exam preparation possible. The school has built a long-standing reputation for the academic prowess of its students.
To sustain this culture of excellence, we have continued to deliver quality education in line with best practices for standardized testing. R-MA offers AP courses in English, science, and history. Students who complete these courses and pass the AP exam go on to earn extra credits, placing them in due consideration for acceptance.
