What College Planning & Admissions Consultants Do

A College Planning & Admissions Consultant guides students through every stage of the college search and application process. They begin by helping students discover their strengths, interests, and goals, then build a balanced college list tailored to their academic, social, and financial needs. Throughout high school, consultants advise on course selection and academic rigor, while also strategizing extracurricular involvement and developing polished resumes. 

They manage standardized testing timelines, create comprehensive application plans with deadline tracking, and provide coaching on personal statements, supplemental essays, and interview preparation—though they guide rather than write for students. Additionally, they support parents by clarifying expectations and reducing stress through clear communication and structure, and may assist non-traditional or transfer applicants as needed.

Mr. Truman transformed my college application experience. His expert opinion and revisions made my application quality enough to get into numerous top 10 business schools in the United States. I am about to graduate from the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business and I owe a lot of my success to Mr. Truman’s aid on my college application. He taught me invaluable admission insight and networking skills that led to me landing numerous internships, student organization positions, and more. I highly recommend for any college student serious about their college applications and future career!
