METHODS OF SUCCESS
CollegeThoughts uses a proprietary methodology developed through 20 years of working to assist the target demographic, combining lessons in test preparation, application coaching and mental toughness to cause students to see that they have the capacity and grit to matriculate at top colleges. Our holistic approach looks at the entire life of the student, helping each to create the proper narrative to effectively tell their story.
We increase access by giving essential advice about finding the right places to apply, creating a concentrated framework for the application work, and then constructing the best package for admission for each student. Our students have attended all eight Ivy League schools and a host of other selective colleges nationwide. And without having to purchase a comprehensive package of services, you can determine which of our services you would like to engage to make an impact on your process. Our focus is all on YOU!
OUR DIFFERENCE
Our difference is our focal point. Many who are applying to college are focused on getting in. We want our students to celebrate their uniqueness and to be unabashedly authentic. Instead of thinking about what colleges want to see, we want to contribute to the holistic development of our students and the present those mature, prepared people to colleges for consideration.

ABOUT KEITH
Adversity sets the atmosphere for miracles to happen. My greatest experience with adversity was my own path to college. Born to one parent who did not finish high school and another parent who completed one year of college, the path to Princeton wasn’t easy. Were it not for lessons in grit taught at home, a very concerned college counseling team and the support of a college access coordinator, my dreams of attending a top college would have never come true. Even on the day of my high school graduation, my sickly father, recovering from a five-artery bypass surgery, would miss my valedictory. But even though my parents didn’t have expertise to share regarding the college process, they taught me that I was the standard by which I was being measured and that moving forward towards greatness was the only acceptable outcome. Now, as an expert advising others towards applying, I continue to share their layman’s counsel. It’s some of the best I’ve ever been given.
