Stronger, appropriate college lists - Having a list of best academic, social, and financial fit colleges matters. There are around 4000 colleges in the U.S., and we aim to find the best options for each student.
Clear timelines - Students benefit from starting early with clear deadlines.
Essay development and application completion - Keep in mind that college admissions coaches do not write essays, but will help brainstorm ideas to best represent the student’s personality and values.
