College Counseling
The College Counseling team works closely with each Upper School student, helping her discover colleges and universities which fit her academic, social, and environmental expectations, and guiding her through the entire application and selection process.
St. Mary's welcomes college representatives to schedule a virtual visit with students at 1 p.m. via SCOIR.

The college search process is overwhelming. We appreciated the way the St. Mary’s counseling team broke the process down into manageable steps, reassured and educated us throughout, and empowered our daughter to feel confident about her options. Her chosen university is the perfect fit and it is a school we only considered because of the recommendation of the St. Mary’s counselors. Cathy Mccormick Wilson '88
