About the Book

McKnight Educational Consulting for College Admissions - MECCA provides targeted programming, resources, and pertinent information to assist families in navigating the entire college admissions process.

The MECCA College Admissions Playbook and Guide is information and resources that will help equip students with the knowledge needed to confidently select, prepare, apply, enroll and succeed in college.

Leaders of counseling for college and career readiness find that providing information and support to parents is essential for helping students and their families plan for post-graduation.

While parents hold high expectations for their children’s higher education and careers, they may not necessarily be equipped with the resources needed to help guide their children for these transitions.

McKnight Educational Consulting for College Admissions (MECCA) is committed to working directly with underrepresented students of color to:

• increase academic performance and post-secondary preparation

•  increase high school graduation and post-secondary enrollment rates

• increase educational expectations for students

• increase knowledge of post-secondary options for students and families.
