There are many choices out there...
WHAT SETS US APART?
It's the first thing people want to know. What makes you different?
First and foremost, we have respect for the application process. We hate hearing about companies who imply you can 'sneak' your way into a great school. Applications are not about tricking an admissions office; they are about helping a group of strangers to understand clearly who you are. Fundamentally, the high school journey and application process is simple:
Challenge yourself academically, especially in your areas of focus.
Identify and follow your strengths.
Show an awareness and regard for your community.
We don't try to sell you on "guaranteed" application programs filled with fine print. We don't convince you to purchase a slick "packaging strategy" that tries to turn you into someone you are not. (This doesn't work -- because while you're pretending to like something or be someone, there are thousands of other students who genuinely do like and are those things. Imitation doesn't stand up to scrutiny.)
A few other things set us apart as well.

Our ApproachWe do not believe that college counseling is just about where you go to college. Fundamentally, college counseling is about building character.
Yes, our students get incredible college acceptance results every year. But just as importantly, they learn skills like narrative writing and editorial revision, public speaking and interviewing, academic focus and leadership -- skills to take them not only through college, but throughout their careers. We want our students to be not only better prepared for college, but for the rest of their lives. |
Client ServiceWhen you're a client, we take care of you -- always. You can reach us by phone or email, 24/7. If you need something, just ask. We value our relationships with our past and present clients because our reputation is the core of our company's success.
We encourage our students to stay in touch long after they finish our counseling program, and our students come back to us for help on anything they need. We've advised on financial aid and student loans, helped former students apply to graduate programs and select summer internships, and even helped them get their first jobs! |
Business ModelWe don't advertise. We don't have a sales department. We don't chase publicity or new business. In fact, we regularly turn away clients when we're at capacity in any given month or year.
Our goal is not to expand at all costs, but rather to ensure the highest quality of service and the best experience for our existing students. We believe that we're the only company out there with 100% of our new clients referred by previous or current clients. |
