Our Process
We know colleges and we understand teens.
With 35+ years in the field, our team understands the complex landscape of college admission. By spending time getting to know each student, we are able to create a list of colleges where students not only get in but thrive. This process is an opportunity to reflect on values, clarify goals and identify schools that will help you get there.
We believe the best college list is one that includes communities where students will not only gain admission, but will thrive and grow, and present their unique talents to colleges.

College rankings are deeply flawed, heavily manipulated and do not measure engagement or happiness. Our many years of experience and knowledge of both schools and students, we ensure each college list matches individual academic and personal interests and faciliates long-term growth.
