How We Can Help
When you sign up for CollegeThoughts, you are choosing to simplify your journey to college by working with a group of compassionate, talented educators who will help to alleviate stress and increase success by developing a comprehensive plan for college readiness for your child. We help students to think about their ownership of the application process clearly and express themselves authentically.
Why CollegeThoughts?
The number of students enrolled in America’s 4,140 colleges has almost doubled in the past ten years. With application numbers increasing exponentially, good grades alone don’t guarantee admission to elite colleges. Now, more than ever, students need to enter the application process with a focused, self-directed plan. And, unfortunately, there are more students applying to college than there are counselors to adequately help them. Here are some startling statistics:
Number of students in college in the year 2020.
Percentage of time guidance office can spend on the college process.
Average ratio of student:counselor.
Minutes each student spends with counselor on average.
CollegeThoughts is the partner you need to provide your high-achieving student with the tools they need to increase access to top caliber colleges. Our students are strategically guided through the application process to the college or university that will best position them for future success.
Keith, the founder of CollegeThoughts, has made a career of working with families to gain admission to select public schools, prestigious private schools, and elite colleges and universities across the United States. CollegeThoughts doesn’t have strategies based on opinions or theories, but rather on aggregated data collected over more than twenty years of experience. Here’s a quick look at some key statistics:

Where Do I Start?
There is so much that good students must do to be admitted to great colleges. Do well on standardized testing. Write a phenomenal, yet unique essay. Answer a ton of supplemental questions. Figure out which schools to apply to in the first place.
You might be asking yourself:
How do I find the right college for me?
What should I say?
How do I visit?
An important part of our process is our three-way investment philosophy that guarantees everyone plays a part in the student’s overall success (pictured). Everything starts with an initial consultation.
It doesn’t all start with figuring out what the colleges are thinking. It doesn’t even begin in the college guidance office. A great college process should start with what YOU think.
