Frequently Asked Questions
Is it too early / too late to get a college admissions counselor?
It’s never too early to seek out an admissions counselor! In fact, our college prep services range from eighth grade through senior year of high school. It all depends on your specific needs. We assist with everything from interest discovery and study habit refinement to admissions interview prep—and everything in between.
Do you guarantee college admission?
College admission should never be guaranteed and goes against the National Association of College Admissions Counseling Code of Ethics.
What we can say is that over the last five years, 98% of our students have been accepted to a top 100 college, experiencing higher rates of acceptance into elite schools as compared to students without a dedicated counselor and development plan.
Do you focus on students only interested in Ivy or elite colleges?
While many of our students have been accepted into some of the most prestigious schools in the country, we strive to empower students of all interests, so they may realize their full potential for college and beyond. Past students have gained acceptance to a broad range of schools, including ivy, state colleges, private universities, and more. Ask your admissions consultant for any details on specific schools.
How is my admissions counselor selected?
You will be matched with your best-fit counselor based on numerous criteria—area of study, extracurriculars, target schools, and personal preferences, just to name a few. Your counselor will work with you on a unique guidance plan and meeting preference that works best for you, and they’ll support you through every stage of the admissions process.
How much does college counseling cost?
The cost of having a dedicated counselor varies and depends on numerous factors specific to the student’s needs and their goals for the future. With the rising costs of higher education and the increasingly selective admissions landscape at top schools, hiring a college counselor can be a worthwhile investment that yields tangible results down the road.
