Our Promise

We believe every student needs a HERO to find the right college and we promise to do our best for every family we work with. We will support students and their families by taking the stress out of the process by identifying colleges that honor your student and the hard work they have done while being mindful of your budget.

Our Mission

Each student must define their own version of “best” college, not mainstream media or websites. We empower students and families with the knowledge and tools they need to identify colleges that fit the student’s profile and the family’s budget. With years of experience and a targeted approach to the college admissions process, we are able to provide an affordable solution for more families seeking college guidance.

The benefit of our 50+ years of collective expertise makes our program a substantial value. We believe more students should have access to the expert knowledge previously available only to those who could afford expensive college coaching.

Testimonials

Cathy has helped me accomplish more than I could have imagined. I was at a very difficult point in my life which made college applications one of the least of my concerns. Cathy and her team helped me in every way possible to give me an equal opportunity when applying for college. Now, thanks to her help, I have 10 colleges to choose from including my dream school.

It was a pleasure working with Todd to better understand the financial aid process and find colleges where our daughter would get great scholarship. Thanks!

Thank you for the time AND all your work with (our son) and in your system. Maybe because it’s Valentine’s Day, I’m more “in love” with your approach than usual, but I do think it’s incredibly valuable!

I really liked working with Cathy, Emilia and Jack to figure out what college made the most sense for me. I feel better prepared to start college next fall and have a better understanding about myself.
