About Great College Advice

An Approach as Unique as You

Our mission at Great College Advice is to provide students and families the highest standard of assistance in the college admissions process. We carefully customize each student’s program to match the student’s needs, abilities, and aspirations. Our counselors help students discover the school that best fits their abilities, interests, and aspirations. We guide students as they complete their applications, write their essays, and present themselves in the best light throughout the admissions process. 

At Great College Advice we believe that all students should be firmly in charge of their educational future. We provide the tools and guidance for students to make their own decisions about what is important to them as they navigate the college admissions process. Our comprehensive counseling services provide everything necessary for a student to be successful during the college admissions process. 

Our Company

Since 2007, the team of college admissions consultants at Great College Advice has provided comprehensive guidance to thousands of students from across the United States and over 45 countries across the world. Headquartered in Denver and Boulder, Colorado, Great College Advice also has offices in New Jersey, Chicago, North Carolina and Massachusetts.  

We apply a highly collaborative approach at Great College Advice, sharing ideas, exchanging best practices on how best to help individual students, and cooperating to ensure that each of our clients benefits from our collective expertise. Our aim is to provide more than just college admissions advice. We aim to provide educational wisdom. 

How We Define Success

At Great College Advice we define college admissions success in a variety of ways. But the most important measure of our success is the happiness and satisfaction of our students and families. Results are important, however, and we are pleased that over the past three years, 97% of our students have been accepted to one of their top three college choices. We are also proud that our students aiming for the most selective colleges and universities win acceptance. Our Ivy League success rates are 3 to 10 times greater with our help than the general acceptance rates.  

However, our real goal is to deliver a transformative college planning process with long term effects. We are never more gratified than when our students and families share with us how much they have learned through the process—about higher education, about the world, and about themselves. It’s not just about college admissions success. It’s preparation for life-long success.
