Let the journey begin
At College Goals, we limit the number of families we serve to ensure personalized care and support at every step. We know that the college and school admissions journey can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. We work closely with students to unlock their potential and help them find the right fit – a school where they will thrive.
We believe the admissions journey is a collaborative family effort. While our primary focus is guiding your student toward their goals, we’re also here to support you every step of the way. Our doors are always open to parents and guardians, ensuring you stay informed, involved, and reassured throughout the entire process.
One Counselor, Many Experts – A Collaborative Approach
Each student works with a dedicated personal counselor who gets to know them deeply – their interests, goals, and aspirations. Behind the scenes, our counselors collaborate as a team, pooling decades of experience in high school counseling and college admissions. Rest assured, all conversations remain strictly confidential, and our advice is guided by the highest professional standards.
We stay on top of evolving trends by visiting campuses, attending webinars, and participating in industry networks. Our knowledge is up-to-date, so the information we provide is not just accurate – it’s insightful and actionable. All meetings are virtual, ensuring flexibility through Zoom or similar platforms, supported by the latest tools such as CustomCollegePlan and College Kickstart.

Whether your student begins in 9th grade or just before senior year, our counselors provide personalized support for every part of the college application process. From researching schools and perfecting essays to evaluating admission offers, we walk with your student every step of the way.

Whether they need help crafting the perfect Common App essay or want end-to-end support, we work to understand their passions and match them with schools where they will thrive.

The two of them built a relationship through emails and Zoom, and when they did eventually meet in person they were like old friends!
In short, this has been a terrific decision to work with you, and I cannot imagine going through this process without you. To say that you have a wealth of information regarding boarding schools would be an understatement. Boarding schools are literally part of your family’s fiber, and it is such an asset to be able to work with you.
This has made me confident in my choices and therefore, more active and assertive in the demanding college application process. You have been, for me, a pillar of support and guidance.
