​​

  • Easily identified assignments keep the student on track

  • Text conversations improve engagement

TESTING

The only thing your SAT score can tell about you is how well you were able to answer 58 math questions, 52 reading questions, and 44 writing questions and possibly write an essay one Saturday morning during your student's junior year of high school.  Nevertheless, taking a standardized test or deciding on a test-optional path is part of the student’s college planning processes.

 

​

Keeping track of a student’s testing timeline and providing guidance boosts confidence, and gives parents some breathing space. After a diagnostic test, students, CPC and ArborBridge collaborate to determine a test prep plan.  

 

  • Creating a test timeline

  • Reminders to ensure no deadlines are missed

  • Graphics for clarity on target scores

  • Support in linking digital study tools and creating a study schedule

  • Navigating test-optional opportunities when appropriate

COLLEGES

 We challenge students to think more deeply, beyond the usual variables to reimagine their college experience. The college research process teaches students valuable life skills to leverage resources and seek guidance.   

 

  • CPC kick-starts each student’s research by matching student-centric criteria to quality schools

  • Fresh data, objective analysis, and personal insight drive our college list recommendations and assigned admission probabilities

  • With a single username and login, students access a full library of independent research and unique content.

  • Our college note chatbox provides real-time support as students are researching schools.

  • Guidance on when to take advantage of early application opportunities – and  how to be ready when the time comes

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Applications might seem simple at first look but take more time and effort to complete than expected.  CPC reduces the workload by organizing all required details and dates for each student’s college list in one place.  Sure, you can hunt and peck for this information online, but wouldn’t you rather spend that time elsewhere?  

 

  • Application, material, and financial document deadlines by application type 

  • High school curriculum track – for example, how many foreign languages or lab science courses does your dream school recommended?

  • Testing requirements – SAT/ACT, Test-Optional, Test-Flexible, Self-Reporting, Official Score and AP sending recommendations

  • Recommendation letter requirements

  • Institutional scholarship opportunities

  • Portfolio and audition requirements

  • ROTC and Service Academy requirements

  • Academic and Non-Academic variables defined by each school’s published Common Data Set

CALENDAR

Using a calendar to keep track of important dates is a life skill.  With so many things going on in a student’s life, it is easy to miss a deadline.  Students can quickly view and add events to their calendars and receive notifications to keep them on track.  

 

  • Standardized test registration deadlines and test dates

  • College planning assignments

  • Application deadlines

  • Financial Aid document deadlines

  • Application material (test scores; recommendation letter; transcript) deadlines

  • Scholarship deadlines

  • Student personal events such as Campus Visits and Admitted Student Days
