Washington D.C. College Admissions Consultants

High school students in Washington D.C. who work hard, earn top grades and standardized test scores, and compile robust extracurricular profiles often target some of the most highly competitive colleges and universities.

However, they often don’t have the level of guidance and support they need to maximize their chances of success. In fact, the National Association for College Admissions Counseling estimates that the average student-to-counselor ratio in DC area high schools is approximately 330-to-1, well below the recommended level.

Guidance counselors serve an extremely important function within our school systems, and are integral to the personal and academic development of our students; however, multiple job roles and time constraints have left them unable to adequately assist in the most critical areas of college planning, including college list development, college essay coaching, college application review, college interview prep, financial aid/scholarship guidance, and college choice. This is why many Washington, D.C.  area families seek out private college admissions consultants.

Unlike many other prominent college admission consulting firms that boast 100+ part-time consultants, we pride ourselves on being a smaller firm, with a tight-knit group of full-time counselors who provide personalized and attentive service to our valued clients. Our high level of client satisfaction is evident from our stellar verified reviews on Trustpilot.

Over the past 15+ years, our Washington, D.C.  college admissions consultants have successfully counseled college applicants from all the following high schools in the D.C. Area and surrounding suburbs.
