Our College Counselors help students assess their individual abilities, talents, interests and aspirations, and then provide the knowledge, guidance and support for them to identify and seek college admission.
And it starts from the very beginning. Our freshmen are dipping their toes into the college admission process. At the same time, our college counselors are paying close attention to their growth and journey, so that by the time freshmen become upperclassmen, our students are more at ease with the process and our counselors already know them, inside and out.

Strengths, Accomplishments & Development
WRA has long been a recognized leader in student advocacy in the college process, a fact highlighted by our unique committee-written letters of recommendation, emphasizing students’ personal strengths, accomplishments and development during their time at Reserve.
And when our students receive that letter that begins with our favorite words — “We are pleased to inform you…” — we are ready to celebrate with them. Their selected college is printed and planted in our pennant garden, and every May event (the Color Run, Summer Send Off and, of course, Commencement) feels all the more aglow with joy.
How We Help
All students are assigned a personal college counselor for individualized support throughout their college application process.
Application help sessions with college counselors and admission representatives from various colleges.
All WRA students and their families are given access to a college and career web-based service designed especially to help manage college applications and much more.
