Whether you are a college bound student or a parent of a college bound student, we understand that today's college admission process if much different than 15 years ago. With financial aid, extracurricular activities, college-credit courses and the strict qualifications to get into elite institutions, we understand that applying for, and planning for college can be a nightmare. We want to make things easier. Below are the ways we get you started on your college bound path:
Get Matched With A College Admissions Counselor.
After enrolling and completing our consultation request form, you will be matched with an expert counselor based on your unique attributes and college-related interests.
Schedule Your Introductory Session.
We will meet at a time that best works with your schedule. We’re available during weekdays, as well as on nights and weekends. Introductory sessions are devoted to developing admission strategies, reviewing initial tasks to be completed, and addressing any questions you may have. We may even meet via online chat if it works better with your schedule!
Learn About YOU.
Before you can become college bound, we need to know what makes you tick. Through a series of meetings and personality assessments, we learn more about you, help you learn more about your own potential academic and career pathways.
