Your Perfect School Awaits...Let’s Get You There!
We understand that the college admissions process can be intimidating no matter how well a student has performed in high school. That's why our staff is prepared to help our applicants through every step of the journey, reducing the stress for students and their families, and leading to successful admissions results. Whether your student needs assistance with their academics, admissions test preparation, searching for schools, perfecting essays, securing financial aid, or succeeding in the transition to college life, we can assist every step of the way.
We specialize in helping students build a realistic list of colleges that fit their unique interests, abilities, and personality, and which the family will be able to afford. We focus on finding the right fit for each student by opening their search to the many incredible options available for higher education and then ensuring they submit the best application package for each school. Our clients regularly report how ecstatic they are to have found and been accepted to their dream school with our assistance, and we look forward to helping each student make that discovery and celebrate the joy of finding their perfect place to continue their education after high school. Everest’s college counseling program has a strong record of identifying the best schools for our students and helping them get admitted.

Supporting Your Entire Admissions Journey
Everest can support your child’s entire academic career up to and through their college admissions journey, providing families with long-term insight and planning to ensure each student achieves their academic dreams.
Searching for and Applying to Colleges
It is important for your child to select the college that best suits them, and we will help them narrow down the wide selection of schools available. Does your child learn best in large classes or small groups? What extracurricular activities are most important to them? What have they learned about their interests and abilities that may help decide on a degree path? Do they require certain test scores, teacher recommendations, or admissions essays? Our counseling services will help answer all these questions and more.
Success in High School
Knowing where a student plans to apply to college and how they plan to get there is just the first step since your student must stay engaged and active throughout their high school career because colleges prioritize grades above all other applicant qualities. Our tutors can help guide your child through high school courses and activities, advising them on choosing academic courses that suit their strengths and desires, fostering relationships with teachers and counselors that can help within the classroom, constructing compelling essays and/or visual arts portfolios that will catch the eye of admissions counselors, and organization/time management in all facets of academic life.
Transitioning from High School to College
There are few periods in life that are as jarring as transitioning from high school to college. Our advisors will ease the change by helping your child learn the inner workings of college life. Is your child going to live at home or on campus? Does he or she intend to engage in extracurricular activities? Will he or she be working or pursuing an internship during their academic school year? These are important questions and concerns that often go unresolved until it almost too late, so let our counselors lend a helping hand.
