Sometimes students aren’t sure that they need individually tailored college consulting. In this short video, one of Great College Advice’s clients explains why he thinks it has been so helpful to him to have a bit of extra help in selecting the right college.
Finding the Right Consultant for Your Family
Here’s a framework for evaluating college consultants on what matters most: legitimate credentials, genuine fit with your student, clear value proposition, ethical practices, comprehensive services, appropriate meeting cadence, and effective working arrangements. A quality consultant welcomes these questions because they understand that informed families become better partners in the process.
Remember that the goal isn’t finding someone to do the work for your student—it’s finding an experienced guide who will help your student do their best work while discovering colleges where they’ll genuinely thrive. The right consultant helps your family navigate complexity with confidence while keeping your student at the center of every decision.
