College Counseling
While the goal of college counseling is to help our girls gain admission to an institution of higher education that reflects the best fit for their individual interests and aspirations, our counselors also focus on self-awareness, self-advocacy, confidence and achieving a healthy balance in life.
Guidance and Support
Students learn to take responsibility for researching colleges, completing applications, meeting deadlines and registering for tests. With guidance and support, the college counselors actively engage with students and families as they learn about and navigate their college options. It is important for all - students, parents, guardians, faculty and counselors - to collaborate with honest communication, an open mind, and a positive outlook.
Every Baldwin girl has her own unique experiences to reflect upon and an exciting journey ahead. College counseling supports students throughout the Upper School years to help girls realize their full potential and take hold of the range of opportunities available to them.
College Visits
Each year Baldwin hosts approximately 150 college representatives from across the country and abroad. Meetings with students can be arranged during the normal school day. Learn More.Meet our Counselors

Our Philosophy
Embrace the Journey
Our college counseling process is personalized and reflective. Rigorous academics and rich exposure to extra-curricular activities culminate in a college search process that is supportive, inspirational and has the future of each Baldwin student at its core.The college search and application process should be one that is inspirational and about possibilities. While the goal of college counseling is to help our girls gain admission to their top choice schools, we work with them to find institutions of higher education that reflect the best fit for their individual interests and aspirations, while also focusing on self-awareness, confidence and achieving a healthy balance in life.
