She has been our in-house researcher, our voice of reason and reality, our safety net, and my daughter’s biggest supporter. We are so glad we didn’t have to tackle this once-in-a-lifetime endeavor alone!"                                                                                                       -D.P.

   The decision to attend college is an exciting one. Finding the right fit and navigating the competitive, changing landscape of college admissions are serious undertakings, especially in the wake of the pandemic, Supreme Court rulings, and generative AI. Requirements vary tremendously across schools. Application elements and platforms are numerous and in constant flux. Sifting through the endless streams of information (and misinformation) to determine what is personally relevant and identifying the potential suitable pathways that exist within the thousands of institutions of higher education can be daunting tasks.
