Why partner with a college consultant?
College is among the most important decisions families will make. As you invest in the next stage of your student's future, you deserve to work with a trusted partner who brings a calm, practical, and professional approach to what can often be a stressful time.
Gold River College Consulting is here to meet students wherever they are in the application process.
Services are flexible and include:
Strategic Positioning: Helping students identify their unique strengths, experiences, and challenges in order to strategically position these elements to align with target schools.
Narrative Development: Helping students craft a narrative that weaves through every component of the application, from essays to activity lists to interview preparation.
Authenticity: Helping students express themselves authentically (yes, admissions officers can spot AI-generated essays from high school students) while employing persuasive communication techniques that make their applications memorable.
While no college counselor can make guarantees, authentic and well-written essays and applications can make the difference between a "maybe" and a "yes" from admissions officers.
