When selective colleges are more difficult than ever to get into, many students ask, "Why try?"  Some students assume that they can't compete because they don't test well, their grades are not perfect, or they have not served as president of a club.

Don't opt out of the selective college application process because you have made assumptions about yourself or the true cost of attendance.

Goldsmith College Consulting helps students find the right fit for college at the right price.

Today's students: 

  • have more strengths and options than they imagined,

  • have 1000s of schools to choose from that are test optional/flexible, and

  • receive more merit scholarships from selective universities and colleges than many public universities.

Goldsmith College Consulting takes the worry, anxiety, and fear out of the process every step of the way so that students and parents explore and pursue opportunities armed with information and confidence. 

Goldsmith College Consulting helps students from 9th grade to college and beyond: 

  • identify, develop, and lean into their strengths, passions, and interests, all of which can open doors and create options for college and merit-based scholarships;

  • find the college/university that is right fit for each student and within a family's budget;

  • prepare competitive admission, honors college, and merit scholarship applications and prepare for interviews;

  • explore major and careers; and

  • prepare graduate school applications.
