College Admission Counseling Options

We offer a single-fee, fully comprehensive consulting program through which you receive College Goals’ extensive college admissions support on every aspect of the university admission process. This program is offered to students who begin to work with us in 9th (combined with our Educational Counseling option for younger students), 10th or 11th grade, or their international equivalents. A condensed version of these services is offered to rising seniors as our Senior Summer Plan. We support students applying to colleges and universities in the US, UK, and Canada, as well as English-medium universities in the EU.

We provide advice on:

• High school course selection, extracurricular activities, and summer planning
• Campus visits and outreach to colleges
• Standardized testing
• Developing a balanced college list
• All aspects of the college application process, including application strategy, letters of recommendation, activities list, essays and personal statements, and financial aid
• Evaluating and choosing wisely among the offers from colleges and universities
• For student-athletes who wish to be recruited, evaluating academic and athletic viability for recruitment

 We give our students access to online resources, including CollegePlannerPro and College Kickstart.
