Los Angeles (LA) College Admissions Counselors

Los Angeles (LA) area high school students are some of the most competitive applicants to elite colleges in the nation, boasting high test scores, impressive extra-curricular activities and a high level of preparedness to succeed in college. However, according to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), the Greater Los Angeles (LA) Area has a high student-to-counselor ratio of 601:1, falling well short of the recommended 250:1 high school student-to-counselor ratio. With an appalling 601:1 student-to-counselor ratio, students in Los Angeles (LA) may not even receive an hour of college admissions counseling from their high school counselors each year.
