Is your student's heart set on studying coding at MIT or earning an engineering degree at Stanford? Have they imagined themselves pursuing an interdisciplinary degree at Tufts or majoring in international business at USC?

Of the approximately 3,500 accredited colleges and universities in the U.S., only about 100 (around 3 percent) are considered highly selective. This means that getting accepted to any of these schools is extremely difficult.

They take what can be a very stressful time and break it down into smaller, manageable pieces. Bob, Lisa and their staff support their student clients, enabling them to find the best fit. You can trust that the process will work; it did for all 3 of my very different kids."
