School Admissions Counseling
College Admissions Consulting
One-to-one college admissions counseling for high schoolers, online. Your student works with an experienced counselor on school selection, application strategy, essays, and final review, so every application goes out organized, polished, and on time.
What does a College Admissions Consulting program cover?
A private college counselor guides your student through the college application process one-to-one: building a balanced list of schools, planning each application, and making sure every piece is strong and submitted on time. High school counselors often support hundreds of students at once. A private counselor gives your student focused time, an insider's perspective, and a plan.
Need help with just one part? Single components, like interview prep or a final application review, are available on their own.
College admissions counseling for high school juniors and seniors
Starting late in senior year? It is not too late. A counselor can focus on the applications and deadlines that matter most right now.
Our college admissions counseling is built for the two years when admissions decisions take shape: junior and senior year. We work with students wherever they are in the process.
Juniors
The year to build a college list, plan visits, map out testing, and get ahead on essays before senior fall gets busy.
Seniors
Applications, essays, interviews, and deadlines all arrive at once. A counselor keeps the process organized and on track through submission.
Students applying to highly selective colleges
When many applicants have similar grades and scores, strategy and presentation matter. Our counselors know how selective colleges read applications.
Students with specific applications
Help with the University of California and ApplyTexas applications, art portfolios and performing arts, and scholarship guidance.
How our college counseling works
A stronger application, and more: less stress at home, a student who owns the process, and a list of schools that fit.
Applying to college is a long process with many moving parts. Our counselors break it into clear steps and keep your family on schedule, so nothing important slips through the cracks.

Working online lets us be highly selective in hiring and match your student with the counselor who fits best.

Your family and counselor set a schedule that fits your student's calendar and application deadlines. You might meet weekly, every other week, or a few times a month, and you can adjust as deadlines get closer.

College Admissions Consulting questions
A private college counselor works one-to-one with your student on the college application process: building a list of schools, planning applications and deadlines, guiding essays, preparing for interviews, and reviewing every application before it is submitted. The goal is a strong, organized application to schools that fit.
Look for four things. Real admissions experience, such as former admissions officers or school-based college counselors. A process with clear steps and deadlines. A focus on schools that fit your student, not just the best-known names. And one counselor who works with your student from start to finish. Ask any counselor you are considering who your student will actually meet with.
High school counselors do important work, but many support hundreds of students along with scheduling, testing, and other duties. A private counselor works with your student one-to-one, on your family's schedule, and focuses only on college admissions. Many families use both: the school counselor handles transcripts and school reports, and the private counselor helps with strategy, essays, and applications.
We work with juniors and seniors. Junior year is a great time to start, because there is time to build a college list, plan visits, and get ahead on essays. Seniors can start anytime, and we focus on the applications and deadlines that matter most.
Online sessions are live and one-to-one, and your student and counselor work in shared documents, just as they would at a table together. Working online also means your family can meet with the best-fit counselor for your student, wherever you live.
Yes. Our University of California and ApplyTexas add-on covers personal insight essay support, building the activities and honors list, and overall application strategy for those systems.
No one can honestly guarantee admission to a specific school, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What our counselors can do is help your student find schools that fit, present their strengths clearly, and submit strong, polished applications on time.
It depends on the package and how many schools your student applies to. Our Standard package supports 1 to 3 schools, our Comprehensive package supports 4 to 6, and single components are available for families who need help with one part of the process. Schedule a call for a clear quote.
