Our college counselors visit a number of college campuses a year and often meet with Admissions Deans and Officers repeatedly throughout each application cycle to stay on top of changing admissions trends. What sets our counselors apart is the individual time and attention you receive from working with them as they get to know you, your family, and most importantly, your student. Our goal is to inform the consumer and help families set realistic expectations for meeting with the greatest amount of college admissions success.
