COLLEGE SERVICESWhat is CAP Cornerstone?
CAP Cornerstone is a program designed for college-aged students who have already graduated high school. Whether you are currently enrolled in an undergraduate program or looking to apply for one, we can help!
Within the ‘new’ parameters of COVID and attending college, no standard of service to existing students has yet been set. Many current college students have faced 2020 and 2021 learning virtually without the full classroom and support experience that was originally sought after.
Undergraduate Transfer Assistance
Since each state and institution continues to have individual rules, regulations, and requirements for on campus learning (and to what extent and capacity), more students than ever are examining multiple options on their journey to graduate.
Students who have been forced to learn remotely are stressed, tired, teaching themselves, and disappointed in their overall college experience. CAPofPA is here as a rejuvenating resource to help guide college students through any transfer considerations.
Postgraduate Guidance & Support
Unfortunately, we are hearing from many students who are seeking postgraduate study and work who are NOT receiving the proper care and guidance from their institution:
- Resume writing
- Graduate school guidance
- GRE direction and graduate school application support
- LSAT direction and law school application support
- MCAT direction and medical school application support
- Postgraduate financial aid guidance
Possible lack of employment opportunities, research, internships, and an overall ‘depression of opportunities’ has been expressed by current undergraduates who seek more than what they are experiencing. CAPofPA is here to provide the needed order of operations, skill set, and tools for the continuation of studies beyond the initial 4-year bachelor degree.
