100% Confidence Incoming

We recently received this powerful note from a CollegeConsulting.us family - and it’s a great reminder of why starting early makes all the difference.

This family came to us with a clear goal: to help their son pursue engineering in college. He had the passion, but like many students in early high school, he needed structure, strategy, and guidance.

His parents had already tried working with another counselor, but it didn’t feel like enough. They were looking for something that could help their son grow as a student, not just submit a college application.

We understand how stressful this process can be. The deadlines. The decisions. The pressure. That’s why we work not just as advisors, but as a support system, for your whole family.

We offer expert guidance, regular check-ins, and transparent communication, so you never feel like you're doing this alone.

And most importantly, we start early. Starting in 9th grade allows students to develop strong study habits, build leadership in their interests, and take meaningful steps long before applications are due. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and maximize success.

If you’re wondering whether now is the right time to begin, we’d love to talk. Schedule a call here to meet with our team.

Warmly,
Melina Kazanas

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We'll help get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges...and if we don't get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges, you don't pay us a penny.  Seriously.  College admissions isn't rocket science...but it is a science.  And we've cracked the code...year, after year, after year.  You can learn more about our world renowned all-inclusive, start-to-finish college coaching here and to see if your family qualifies for an introductory call.

P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!"  The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
