Why Use Our Admissions Consultants?
How can College Planner help my child get into college?
College Planner educational consultants take the stress out of the college admissions process by providing independent college counseling and expert advising on every step, from the college search, through essays, interviews, scholarship searches, and more. Our one-on-one assistance opens even reluctant students up to the process and eases friction between parent and child during this stressful time.
Why pay for a college admissions counseling service?
College Planner consultants have all worked as senior admissions officers at top colleges. That means we can advise your child based on first-hand knowledge and offer guidance based on what we know colleges are looking for. Our team of full-time educational consultants are focused on your child, and dedicated to helping students create applications that demonstrate their unique personalities, interests, and strengths. Equally important, by helping students find the best college matches, our service pays you back by helping ensure that your tuition investment is spent wisely.
What’s the difference between a guidance counselor and a College Planner admissions advisor?
Guidance counselors are stretched thin — 407 students to one advisor, according to the U.S. Department of Education* – with extremely limited time per student. Also, unlike College Planner’s team of college consultants, they’ve never sat in the decision-maker’s chair at a college.
What types of students use College Planner?
We have worked with students from all 50 states in the U.S. and 18 different countries abroad, who come from public schools, parochial, private, and home-school environments.

No. College Planner helps students of all academic abilities find their college fit. Our students have collectively been admitted to more than 600 colleges of all types across the country during the past three years.
