Be unapologetically authentic in your college admissions journey.
We help students take ownership of their journey and strengthen the relationship with their parents, putting students at the center of the process.
What seems like a simple and straightforward process sometimes isn't. Our approach to the college process is full-service and hands-on, helping students understand who they are and what they want to accomplish with their college journey, while reducing stress throughout the process.
Who We Work With
At Core College Consulting, we work with families who value authenticity, personal growth, and connection during the college admissions process. Our ideal clients believe that college admissions should be more than a checklist—it should be an opportunity for their student to reflect, discover who they are, and learn how to advocate for themselves.
We’re a great fit for families who:
Want their student to feel empowered and in control of their journey.
Recognize that students are more than just GPAs and test scores.
See the college process as a time of growth, not just a task to “get done.”
Are looking for a hands-on, personalized approach—without strict hourly limits or cookie-cutter solutions.
Understand the value of preserving family harmony during a stressful time and are open to trusting a professional guide.
Whether your student is highly motivated or feeling overwhelmed, we’ll meet them where they are. Every student deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.
