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 College 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 College 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 College 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.
