Demystifying College Admissions
College counseling requires understanding and appreciating our students and their goals and passions, and helping them discover opportunities to bring their dreams to life. Our college experts network with admissions officers from across the globe to bring the best and most updated information and advice to our families. Community events, family workshops, and one-on-one meetings are naturally incorporated into the ULS curriculum.
A Personalized Approach
Our confident and intellectually curious senior class experiences a hyper-intensive, individualized approach to college counseling. Students also embrace admissions representative visits, field trips to college campuses, parent education nights, and job shadows. Lakers are qualified to compile a robust resume, draft unique essays, and inspire authentic teacher recommendations that bring their applications to life.
Our dedicated Leadership class is built into the daily schedule for every Upper School student. This model allows the Director of College Counseling to meet with students on an individualized basis while the Leadership Counselor crafts experiential lessons in future planning, social-emotional learning, and outdoor learning.
Our strong alumni network of Olympians, politicians, and composers return to Hawk Hill as guest speakers, Barn Bash attendees, and even teachers and coaches, often citing their time at ULS as the catalyst for awakening passions, transforming self-conceptions, and cultivating a love of learning.
