Maximizing your college choices is about exploring what matters to you.

It’s about pursuing your passions and demonstrating your abilities in school and in other activities. It’s discovering what you want in a college and finding those that fit. It’s considering standardized tests as a way to broaden your options. It’s convincing colleges that your unique talents and passions are what they are looking for. And most rewarding of all, it’s deciding among your acceptances and scholarship awards.

CollegeAware helps you each step of the way.

Mark mentored our son on every aspect of applying to colleges, and in the end, our son found a college that checked all the boxes. We couldn’t have done it without Mark and I’ve recommended him time and time again.

The Process

Step #1 - Planning

Your journey begins by considering your path in and outside of school.  While it’s important to look ahead, it’s also important to take this step by step.

Step #2 - Researching Colleges

Together, we’ll build your list and research each college so that you know it’s for you. We’ll help you make the most of college visits, and de-mystify financial aid so you and your family can invest in college on your terms.
