NACAC Reports Consider Counseling’s Connection to College Enrollment
A recent report from the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, “How Can High School Counseling Shape Students’ Postsecondary Attendance?” examines school counseling characteristics, factors counselors can affect, and student characteristics that were associated with one of five college-going outcomes. The report considers these outcomes: meeting one-on-one with a counselor to discuss college admission, meeting one-on-one with a counselor to discuss financial aid, submitting a FAFSA before fall 2013, attending college in fall 2013, and attending a bachelor’s degree program in 2013. The report finds that students who spoke one-on-one with a counselor were 6.8 times more likely to complete the FAFSA, 3.2 times more likely to attend college, and twice as likely to attend a bachelor’s program.
