‘PossibilityU’ Provides Guidance Counselors with Tools for Helping Students Get Into and Afford Their Perfect College

Online college admission curriculum manages and tracks students’ college admission and application process

Yarmouth, ME – February 14, 2012 – PossibilityU, a web-based solution designed to help students get into the right college, has launched a college admission curriculum that allows high school guidance counselors to have more meaningful conversations with students about choosing, applying to and affording college. The curriculum provides a series of data-driven tools to help guide students to the best and most appropriate colleges – academically, socially and financially – and it provides guidance counselors with a quick snapshot of the college admission process for any number of students.

“This service is terrific. It gets the complicated picture of college admission across in a smart, contemporary way that really resonates with our students,” said Bob Gay, principal of Coyle and Cassidy High School. “PossibilityU helps our guidance office deliver personalized support, gather real-time feedback on student progress and recommend great schools that match – the heart, the brain, and the wallet.”

PossibilityU provides students with a simple-to-use, yet powerful, college matching engine and assesses a student’s chance of getting into a particular college or receiving financial aid. It features a full curriculum with strategies from experts in college admission offered in short, entertaining video lessons, including practical tips on choosing, applying for, and financing a great college education. PossibilityU automatically messages students and parents about deadlines and events and provides counselors with a dashboard for tracking student progress and choices. Guidance counselors and administrators can view a variety of aggregated reports to track the progress of juniors and seniors through the admission process.

“Guidance counselors today carry an incredible load. Many serve hundreds of students per year across areas as diverse as scheduling, disciplinary issues and of course college consulting. Only 31% of guidance offices surveyed by the College Board feel they are successful helping students with the admission process. PossibilityU is a great way for the remaining 69% to offer their students great college advice. Students drive the process on their own time and guidance offices get the tools to go in-depth and make the most out of the time they have to focus on college admission. Together, we can change admission outcomes for students across the country,” said Betsy Peters, CEO of PossibilityU.

In addition to the online components, PossibilityU provides a support line staffed by expert advisors who will answer questions throughout the college search and selection process. For more about implementing PossibilityU, contact sales@possibility.com or call 877-503-7896.
