Why Do You Need an Independent College Admissions Consultant?

“A house may be the costliest thing most families buy, but college—which is second—is far more important, because that investment affects their teenager’s future.” Loren Pope,

and Colleges That Change Lives

According to a recently released survey conducted by the National Research Center for College and University Admissions, 26% of high achieving seniors used an independent education consultant in their search and application process!

Independent educational consultants, such as Heather, are specialists in helping you make this important investment.

How CollegeGateways helps you:

  • Applying to college is complex, competitive and time consuming.  Through individualized service, Heather can expedite the process to help families have a rewarding experience as they explore the world of higher education.
  • When working with a student, Heather’s research and professional expertise leads her to suggest schools which will be the right “match” for your child and where he or she can thrive and be successful.
  • Every year, Heather visits a wide variety of colleges and universities across the country meeting with admissions officers and talking with students.  She asks questions with her clients’ interests in mind and learns first-hand about the academic program and social atmosphere of each campus.
  • College is expensive as tuition continues to rise more than the rate of inflation and student loan debt is of great concern.  Heather can advise families on cost saving ideas, financial aid options, and scholarship opportunities.
  • Heather is always available by phone, SKYPE, and email and for personal appointments after school, weekends and during the summer.  You may choose to meet her online, in her office, or in your home.

“ Heather - We are so thankful to have you as our partner in helping our son reach his true potenial.  You were so positive in our meetings and I know Cliff felt very comfortable with you.
  As a result of using your consulting services, our son applied to and was accepted to the college that was the perfect fit for him. He has had great first semester! I don't believe we could have managed this whole process successfully without your support every step of the way.”
