I am extremely grateful for Harpeth Hall's college counseling department. Our counselors understand that the college process is incredibly individual, and they work closely with each girl and family in order to make sure everyone has the best possible experience. When it was time for me to write essays, take the SAT, and fill out the CommonApp, my parents were surprised by how little they had to do. My close relationship with my counselor helped me feel confident in myself and about the process, and my parents were grateful that I was at a school where I received expert guidance that they could trust.

The Harpeth Hall college counselors are some of the most collaborative people I've ever met. Their knowledge of the complications of college admissions is invaluable, but it's their commitment to getting to know the students to find the best fit school for each one that truly sets the program apart. I felt supported, heard, and encouraged throughout what is often an incredibly stressful process.
