College Counseling

Upper School 9 - 12

Helping Students Navigate the College Search and Admission Process

The College Counseling Office supports all Bullis Upper School students as they navigate the college search and admission process.

Bullis Upper School students build trusting relationships with their college counselors.
Our Bullis counselors help students build a list of colleges where they will thrive.
From there, they advocate for each student with these colleges and universities when given the opportunity.

Our ultimate goal is to provide our students with the necessary tools to make good, informed decisions.

Our Philosophy

We aim to guide students to self-reflect and discover their personal passions and areas of interest while teaching them how to effectively research colleges. Ultimately, our goal is to assist students in using these principles to find their best-fit colleges.

The College Counseling team:

Empowers students to take the lead in the college exploration and application process.
Encourages students to self-advocate throughout the process
Guides students to utilize this process as an opportunity to develop lifelong skills and personal growth.

When approached most effectively, the college search is a team effort between the student, parent/guardian, and counselor, with the student playing the central role.
