College Planning Services
Your path to college is uniquely yours. With the right guidance, you can turn your interests, strengths, and goals into a college plan that feels authentic, and achievable. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all formula, you’ll discover what matters to you and build a pathway that fits where you want to go.
With My Pathway to College, you have a dedicated team of experienced counselors and essay coaches in your corner from freshman year through selecting the best-fit college. We break the process into manageable steps and keep your family informed and supported along the way.
9th & 10th Grade
Your high school years are a chance to discover what interests you, what excites you, and where you want to go next. Starting early gives you the space to explore those possibilities, build on your strengths, and make choices that feel true to who you are.
By the time you’re ready to apply to college, you’ll have more than a list of accomplishments, you’ll have a story that reflects who you are and where you want to go. You’ll enter the college process with greater confidence, a clearer sense of direction, and a foundation for finding a college where you can thrive.
