There is no one-size-fits-all template for advising students, as each student has a different pathway. After a careful set of assessments, My Pathway to CollegeTM will work to encourage, guide, and motivate your student to put his or her best foot forward in the college admissions process.

My Pathway to CollegeTM takes the stress out of applying to colleges by breaking down the process into manageable timelines on how to discover, navigate, and explore a student’s pathway to college. Call My Pathway to CollegeTM for a consultation meeting to determine which pathway package will be the best fit for your student based on his/her college and career interests.

Jennifer has been invaluable to us! Since the beginning she has broken down for us the many daunting steps it takes to apply to colleges into very manageable steps. She challenged us to explore our options without making it overwhelming, is providing advice and resources all along the way, always lets us know where our energy is best spent and either keeps us on track or ahead of the process alleviating having the stress of multiple deadlines all at once that we didn’t even know about.
