Consulting Services
We’ve Helped More Than 13,000 Students - Of All
Abilities And Income Levels
And we can help Your Child Too.
When you work with us, we personally hold you (and your child) by the hand, simplify and coach you through the entire college process with personal and customized admissions and funding guidance, application preparation and ongoing support throughout high school and college.
That said, there are some things we absolutely won’t do. Like, we won’t insult your intelligence by promising you some magic bullet that guarantees your son or daughter a place in Princeton’s next class. I’m sure there’s someone out there who will… but that’s not us. What we will do is promise to give you the benefit of our proven, field-tested, rock-solid, insider advice, tips and tools that will empower your child to find, get into and pay the lowest price possible at some of America’s best colleges.
The beauty of our practice is that we never say we ‘get a kid into college’. With us, they’ll know and take pride in having gotten themselves into college. We’ll be their (and your) coach, confidant and occasionally, their friendly kick in the tush. We support the whole way through the process. With us, your child will never be packaged into some cookie cutter version of themselves with contextually irrelevant activities and essays. Instead we help each of our students discover, pursue and articulate their true passions in a way that helps them uniquely stand out from the pack.
