Scale the guidance. Keep the human connection.
Give more students personalized college admissions and affordability guidance without adding more counselors.

Think counselor multiplier... with your program built in.
See the platform in action with your students and program in mind.
01
More Capacity
Same people. Better tools. More students reached.
Give counselors and coaches an expert shortcut through the research, calculations, resources, and repeatable work that consumes their time.
02
Built Around Your Program
Your students. Your programs. Your resources.
Configure the Engine around the population you serve, your programs and scholarships, your planning priorities, and the resources available to your families.
03
Human at the Center
The technology scales the expertise. It doesn't replace the relationship.
Let technology handle more of the work surrounding the relationship... so your people have more time for the relationship itself.
Built around your students. Not ours.
Your students aren’t generic. Neither is your organization.
CFAE can be configured around your student population, your programs and scholarships, your resources, your planning priorities, and your workflows.
Guided experiences help capture what matters about an individual student. The Engine can then help turn that information into personalized guidance, priorities, reports, and next steps.
A clearer answer to the question that matters:
What should this student do next?
Everyone works from the same plan
- Student
- Family
- Counselor / Coach
- Mentor
Let technology do the calculating.Let people do the coaching.
The Engine helps with
- Research
- Calculations
- College-cost modeling
- Financial-aid scenarios
- Planning
- Resources
- Personalized action plans
- Tracking
Your people bring
- Judgment
- Context
- Experience
- Motivation

Better technology shouldn’t create distance between counselors and students.
It should give them more time for each other.
Can I get in? Can we afford it?
CFAE brings both conversations together.
College Access
Can I get in?
- College fit
- Admissions context
- College-list development
- Planning priorities
- Personalized roadmaps
- Next steps
College Affordability
Can we afford it?
- Real college cost
- Financial-aid eligibility
- FAFSA & CSS Profile
- Merit opportunities
- Financial-aid scenarios
- Funding strategies
Getting a student accepted is only half the equation.
An acceptance letter to a college a family can't afford isn't a successful outcome.
One student. One plan. One team around them.
Good college guidance rarely happens between just two people.
A student may have a parent, counselor, mentor, college-readiness coach, and an entire organization trying to help.
CFAE can create personalized reports and action plans that give the people supporting that student a clearer understanding of:
- Where the student stands.
- What matters now.
- What may be affordable.
- What should happen next.
Get the right people working from the same plan.
The Plan
One student’s personalized action plan
- Student
- Family
- Counselor
- Coach
- Mentor
Everyone supporting the student sees the same priorities and the same next steps.
Product
What's inside the Engine?
Nearly 20 years of college admissions and financial-aid expertise... turned into tools your team can actually use.
College Planning Roadmap
Turn a student's circumstances and timeline into priorities and next steps.
The roadmap keeps a student's plan grounded in where they actually are — grade level, goals, deadlines, and the work that comes next.
College Acceptance Predictor
Bring admissions context to college-list conversations.
Counselors and coaches can ground list-building discussions in admissions context, then apply their own judgment about what it means for this student.
True Cost Calculator · Financial Aid Simulator
Help families see beyond sticker price to what college may actually cost them.
Explore financial-aid eligibility and different family scenarios, then compare what a college may really cost before an application is ever submitted.
Personalized Reports · Counselor & Coach Resources
Turn student information into something students, families, and the professionals supporting them can actually use.
Put grade-specific guidance, workflows, case studies, scripts, and expert resources within reach — alongside the personalized action plans your team shares with families.
Demonstrated Interest Lookup · Practice Upside
Answer the questions families ask, with data instead of guesswork.
Look up how 360+ colleges actually weigh demonstrated interest, and model the impact of better college conversations across the families your team serves.
Built for the people already doing the work.
College-Access & College-Success Nonprofits
Multiply the impact of every coach and mentor.
Create more consistent guidance across staff and volunteers while helping more students move from college planning → financial aid → affordable enrollment.
Without requiring a corresponding increase in headcount.
Independent & Private Schools
Extend what a great counseling department can do.
Put another layer of admissions and affordability expertise behind your counselors so they can provide more individualized guidance without sacrificing the counselor-student relationship.
More counselor capacity. Same human connection.
Charter Schools & Innovative School Models
Build college guidance into your model.
Create a consistent college-planning infrastructure across campuses, cohorts, or nontraditional learning environments while preserving the relationships that make your model work.
You define the model. The Engine helps your people deliver it.

Nearly 20 years of expertise. Now built to scale.
Since 2007, Your College Concierge has worked directly with college-bound students and families at the intersection of college admissions, financial aid, affordability, and family decision-making.
Over nearly two decades, we’ve built the tools, calculations, workflows, case studies, resources, and planning methodology that experienced college advisors use to help families answer one fundamental question:
What’s the right college decision for this student and this family?
CFAE takes what we’ve learned one student and one family at a time and puts that expertise behind the professionals serving many.
We're not trying to replace the counselor.
We're trying to give the counselor more capacity.
See the Engine with your students in mind.
We’ll show you the platform, walk through the tools and personalized student experience, and talk about how CFAE could work around your students, your programs, your resources, and your team.
- No 50-slide presentation.
- No theoretical AI roadmap.
- No generic sales pitch.
Just the Engine... and an honest conversation about whether it can help your people do more of what matters.
