The Face of Personalized College Counseling
Indian Creek School College Counselors
College Counseling at Indian Creek is a personalized process grounded in close relationships between students and the college counselors. Nadine Marks and Maggie Melson embrace this role, dedicating themselves to pairing each ICS senior with a school where they will thrive.
Melson and Marks cultivate relationships early, meeting with families throughout high school and often getting to know students earlier at the PK-12 school. They attend students’ activities outside the classroom and know them well within.
Each ICS senior benefits from hours of individualized college guidance. The duo approaches each student’s placement as a puzzle, creating tailored lists of college options for consideration. Marks and Melson write custom recommendation letters, and proof hundreds more from faculty before sending to schools. The counselors serve as “school parents,” guiding students through applications and ensuring they complete each step on time, so that parents can maintain their relationships as advocates for their children.
“At ICS, each student receives customized guidance as they drive their own college process. When students have the agency to set and reach their own goals, the results are spectacular.”
