PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS:
Our Approach
We counsel the whole student from a humanistic and individual perspective to distinguish them from thousands of other applicants. We choose to empower our students, make their college process personal, build their confidence and give them a standout voice during their college process.
All our services are appropriately combined to maximize every student's opportunities.
What Makes Us Different
Our unique approach combines personalized guidance with comprehensive services to ensure your success.
Personal Partnership
What makes the CC experience unique is the relationship developed between student and advisor. We are your companion and trusted ally in the complex process of college admissions, not just someone who walks you through the process.
Comprehensive Guidance
We offer a complete suite of educational and career services designed to guide students through every aspect of the college admissions process. This holistic approach helps students gain acceptance to their first choice schools.
Individual Focus
While there are many DIY research and college matching websites, none can help identify your unique strengths and interests, and find schools with the best curriculum for you. We serve the student and family, not the process.
