Through every part of the process, we help students turn reflection into direction. You’ll dig into what excites you, clarify your values and goals, and learn how to communicate your story with confidence. We see the college application process as a natural extension of the learning you’ll do here.
Helping you define
Your next chapter
Through grade-level workshops and one-on-one meetings, we help students build skills, gather insight, and make informed, authentic choices about what comes next. Prep in junior and senior years includes:
Self-reflection and personal narrative work
Essay-writing and application strategy
College research tools and techniques
College Financial Advising
At Drew, college counseling is a personalized journey.
Starting in junior spring, students participate in a weekly college counseling seminar and both students and parents receive individualized one-on-one guidance. Together, we navigate every step of the student's admissions process—from building a college list and writing essays to submitting applications and making final decisions.
Each year, more than 100 college representatives visit our campus, offering students valuable opportunities to explore options, ask questions, and envision their future. Our counseling team’s goal is simple: to provide support, clarity, and inspiration at every stage of the journey.

Drew students go on to attend an incredibly wide range of colleges, from liberal arts schools to research universities, from arts conservatories to international programs. What they share is that they’ve chosen a school that matches who they are and who they’re becoming.
