Since 2009 our mission is to provide parents and students with accurate information to help them properly prepare for education during, and after high school. In order to accomplish this, we’ve incorporated quality information and research in all of our articles, products, and services.
We feel confident that our numerous experiences working with families and other college admission specialists will provide you with a unique approach to education and college preparation and will answer the questions that will undoubtedly arise during your journey through high school.
We know that applying to college is a significant rite of passage to adulthood, and we believe that education is key to a productive and satisfying future. We take pride in being able to help you minimize your stress and maximize your success through this exciting time of opportunity and growth.
The college admissions process is a multi-year, multi-phase process that can quickly become overwhelming and unmanageable if it is not approached strategically. We help you strategize first, so that you know what to do when, and you don’t waste time doing things that don’t matter.
Selective U.S. colleges use a holistic approach when making their admissions decisions, so we feel it is important that our coaching aligns to that approach. We personalize the coaching you get and address all of the factors that admissions officers will consider when deciding whether to admit you. In order to do this, your College Coach will work with you one-on-one and take the time to get to know you and your particular strengths, interests, and dreams.
We don’t think anyone is well-served by half-truths, empty promises, or abstract advice when it comes to the college admissions process. So we tell it like it is, promise only what we can deliver, and are focused on helping you in concrete, practical ways.
