College Counseling at Field
Field students have varied and diverse interests and talents, and our students choose to enroll at colleges and universities of every size and kind—from large research institutions to cutting-edge institutes of technology to leading liberal arts colleges—throughout the United States and abroad. College counselors support each student throughout the process as they connect with colleges and universities aligned with their goals and the ways they learn best. The goal is to help each student explore expansively and then create compelling applications to those colleges and universities that are best equipped to foster their growth on the next step of their individual journey.
Colleges and universities know Field students well. Our College Counseling team is strongly connected to representatives nationally and internationally, and we host hundreds of college representatives on our campus each year.
The Student and Family College Experience
The College Counseling Office hosts over 150 college and university representatives on campus in the fall to meet with students individually and in small groups to allow reps to learn about Field's students, our curriculum, and our unique and engaging community. We advise students and parents on standardized testing, recommendation letters, college essays, applications, interviews, college visits, merit awards, and financial aid. In addition, our robust and comprehensive program includes:
- College information sessions for families in grades 10–12.
- Grade-level specific, timely College Night programs for students and families in grades 10–12.
- One-on-one student and family counseling.
- Curriculum-based College Seminar course integrated into the advisory program during 11th grade.
- Annual college coffee for all parents to understand the current college admission landscape.
- A College Boot Camp intensive program prior to 12th grade, led by college counselors and college admission officers.
- Signature college counseling programs that include a winter “College Day” for all Upper School students, a case studies event for families, and a spring college fair for 11th-grade students and families, providing exposure to nearly 200 college representatives each year.
