From application to Decision Day, we help students and families navigate the college journey.
Who We Are
College In View Consulting guides students and families through the college admissions process with intentional planning and preparation, helping students approach senior year with less stress and more confidence.
We provide thoughtful, personalized guidance at every stage: exploring careers, identifying colleges, writing essays, navigating the FAFSA, and submitting applications all the way through to celebrating Decision Day.
Structured tasks and regular check-ins tailored to each academic year give students consistent guidance, accountability, and encouragement during this exciting time of high school.
Why Hire a College Admissions Coach?
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the 2023–2024 national student-to-school-counselor ratio was 376:1 making it difficult for counselors to fully service the often complex needs of high school seniors navigating the college admission process.
Hiring a college admissions coach early on allows time for thoughtful planning and an authentically-crafted application that reflects a student’s strengths, interests, and personality. With expert guidance and a clear plan in place, students can move into senior year with confidence and peace of mind.
What We Do
Strategic, personalized guidance - Every student comes to the process with different strengths and goals, and College In View will help build a thoughtful, tailored plan.
Reduced stress for families - There are many moving parts to the admissions process, and we will keep track of timelines, testing, essays, recommendations, and financial considerations with the college list.
Stronger, appropriate college lists - Having a list of best academic, social, and financial fit colleges matters. There are around close to colleges in the U.S., and we aim to find the best options for each student beyond the Top 20 schools.
Clear timelines - Students benefit from starting early with clear deadlines.
Essay development and application completion - We help students with ideas to best craft an essay that represents their personality, values, and voice; we never write essays for students.
Support beyond college applications - Help will be available to understand financial aid packages.
