College admissions consultants in Richmond, VA
Why Richmond students need admissions support
Richmond, VA high school students are among the nation’s highest achieving students, yet the state of Virginia averages a counselor-to-student ratio of 328:1. That means high school students in Richmond, VA may get less than one hour of one-on-one college admissions assistance with their school counselors, who also often lack the knowledge of private college consultants like 7Sage.
We are the only college admissions consulting firm for high school students in the Richmond, VA area that offers a full suite of services, ranging from private tutoring and application and essay writing assistance, complete with in-person capabilities for college consulting. Among our consultants is a graduate of Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School and the University of Richmond.
