Why choose Collegiate?

Most counselors tell you what to do – we tell you how to do it.

    You're told to do competitions, yet learning the specific skills to succeed in them is left unaddressed. You're told to start an organization, yet expanding its impact & attracting members is overlooked. You're told to sound less generic on your college essays, but you lack specific instruction on how to do so.

The most challenging problems are often the most neglected. Meanwhile, our peer mentors have navigated the same challenges that students have recently encountered – equipping them with insights that are hands-on & personalized to each student.
Craft a Standout Application

Discover What Makes You Different.

Elevate a college application or internship search with our Personal Branding strategy – transforming your unique experiences into unforgettable stories.
"Collegiate reminded me to remain authentic to myself and my own story, instead of sugar-coating or bragging about what I have accomplished because that helped me convey a genuine story to universities."

"Working with an individual mentor allowed me to share my ideas... to grow and gain new knowledge... I feel this counseling is much more hands-on than other counseling organizations my friends use."

Collegiate as a firm has the added advantage of having young mentors that can closely connect to students on a personal level. This isn’t true for most other consulting firms where they operate mostly on surface level when crafting a student’s story. Collegiate really helps you present your true self and why you would be a positive addition to a college’s environment.

"After a year of working with them, I can confidently say that their team provides exceptional value compared to other college consulting services. I want to thank Jesse and his team for guiding my daughter in discovering her passion for writing and even winning an award. Jesse always takes the time to encourage and support my daughter's unique personality and strengths"
