How to Work with Us
The College Collective Difference
We have over 50 years of combined consulting experience & have guided thousands of students toward schools where they'll thrive, get plugged in, & take advantage of opportunities that align with their interests.
We see our students for who they are so we can meet them precisely where they are.
Our customized services empower students to take control of their college applications & feel confident every step of the way, from seeking internship or pre-college opportunities to building their college lists to crafting their resumes to creating their college essays to finalizing their applications.
We are honored to guide students through their academic, extracurricular, & personal journeys. Whether your student takes advantage of our 2:1 consulting or our self-paced toolkit, they will receive attentive & comprehensive support. No matter where your student is from or what their goals may be, we will help them create an application strategy that will showcase what makes them unique & help them achieve their goals.
We break down the complex process into bite-sized pieces, which alleviates students' (& their parents') anxiety surrounding where to begin & how to work through college apps--believe it or not, this doesn't have to be a miserable experience!
We make it our business to stay up to date with the latest college admissions trends & expectations, so you don't have to.
“If you don't want to fight with your kid, hire College Collective!”

"I was overwhelmed by all college choices & other people’s opinions, & my team reminded me that I should apply where I can see myself, not where others want me to. I learned that when I am given some direction & room for creativity, I can achieve whatever I put my mind to. College apps aren’t as scary as I thought, & taking it one step at a time with people who care makes all the difference. I got into some great schools that I didn’t have the confidence to apply to before I got College Collective’s help. I am so grateful!”
