UNIVERSITY COUNSELLING
 
Choosing a university is one of the most important decisions a high school student makes. That’s why The York School has a dedicated University Counselling team. Our in-house experts provide the information and guidance that our learners – and their parents – need to select the programs and universities that are right for them.
 
Every student is matched with a university counsellor as soon as they enter our Senior School. As the student and counsellor build a relationship throughout high school, the counsellor develops a good understanding of the learner’s academic goals, career aspirations, extracurricular interests and personality. With this knowledge, the counsellor helps the student identify post-secondary environments where they’ll thrive.
Our university counsellors support students and parents by:
  • meeting one-on-one to discuss requirements for university applications, including course selections for Grade 11 and 12
  • helping identify schools where the student has a high chance of acceptance and other schools that are more aspirational
  • providing feedback on essays and personal statements
  • keeping track of deadlines and submissions
  • being available for regular check-ins and strategy sessions
  • reviewing all materials prior to submission
  • discussing letters of acceptance and evaluating offers
This pathway details the personalized and comprehensive guidance our students receive from their university counsellors during each year of Senior School.
