College-Bound?
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES - YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
The process of finding and applying to college can be overwhelming to students & their families, we know!
We focus on simplifying and helping you throughout the entire process, and specially, at finding the absolute best fit for YOU.
WHY US?
Simply put, we are the best in the field.
Our program is headed by Independent Educational Consultant Chantal Paiewonsky, M. Ed. A certified professional member of IECA™ with 8+ years of experience finding the best fit for the student.
We navigate the entire college selection process & application with the student, all the way to receiving that exciting acceptance letter.
How would the student perform in a 30:1 student-teacher ratio class vs a 100:1 class?
Would an ethnically diverse college provide a better environment for the student?
We leave no stone unturned.
We are college connoisseurs dedicated to getting our students IN.
INDIVIDUALIZED, CUSTOMIZED COUNSELING
We work with a limited amount of families to ensure our absolute, 100% attention. This is 1-on-1. We TRULY get to know our students which allows us to craft an application that showcases the student’s strengths to match with the best college ‘fit’ based on the student’s educational, social, emotional & professional goals.
Did we mention we’ve visited more than 100 colleges in the United States alone?
Not only do we know what we’re talking about, but we maintain a strong relationship with heads of admission in many colleges and frequently coordinate student meetups...
We get YOU connected.
From Ivy League to liberal arts colleges, scholarships…
We help YOU get results.
