At GPS individual attention is the hallmark of the College Guidance office. Small group meetings with the counseling staff during the freshman year and the assigning of a girl’s personal college counselor in the sophomore year lead to a two-year college process of exploring colleges, identifying the girl’s strengths, working on applications and essays, and finally, celebrating each girl’s acceptance letters.  This attention has consistently resulted in an over 80% acceptance rate and better than average acceptance rates at schools around the country. Additionally, well over 50% of each graduating class has received merit, athletic, or talent based scholarships. While GPS is proud of the successes enjoyed by our alumnae at the college level, we understand that the process begins with the work and attention paid to each girl’s college search.
