College Counselor Booking

Our counselors are certified professionals with advanced degrees in counseling, education, or related fields. They all have 10+ years of experience working in the college counseling and essays field.

Sessions are personalized to your needs and may include college list development, application strategy planning, essay review and feedback, interview preparation, scholarship guidance, and timeline management. Your counselor will assess your profile and provide actionable advice.

Live session rates range from $100-200 per hour depending on counselor experience and session length. If you don't need a live meeting, you can submit a written profile review for $50 — a counselor will review your materials and send back personalized feedback without a call.

The ideal time to start is during sophomore or junior year of high school, allowing time for strategic course planning and activity development. However, counselors can provide valuable guidance at any stage, including senior year for application support.
