Welcome to College Search Navigators

The college search and application process can seem like weathering a storm, with waves of statistics on the increasing competitiveness of admissions, pressure to find “the right college”, and multiple deadlines and submissions requirements.

Did you know?

• Stress tied to the quest for academic achievement can lead to depression, eating disorders and other health problems
• The number of applications being submitted to colleges continues to break all-time records
• In 2009, the pool of high school graduates peaked at 2.9 million, increasing the chances of rejection for a larger number of college applicants
• Recruiting by elite colleges is resulting in even more applications being submitted
• The economic downturn has resulted in a substantial increase in applications to public colleges, making admission to these schools more difficult than in the past

Whether this is your family’s first voyage, or you are a seasoned veteran of the journey, we at College Search Navigators are here to help you find your way to a successful and fulfilling college destination!

Benefits

With over 2,000 four-year accredited colleges and universities in the United States alone, the search for the right school can seem like finding the needle in a haystack! It is not just about “getting into college.” It is about making smart choices to help ensure a best match between the student and the school – academically and socially.

Some colleges receive over 13,000 applications per year, making it a challenge for a student to stand out in the crowd. It is therefore critical for a student to “jump off the page” and demonstrate his or her own outstanding individuality, in a voice that is his or her own.

Many students now apply to an average of 10 colleges, most using online applications. Keeping track of deadlines alone can prove to be difficult, in an already confusing and stressful process.

At College Search Navigators, our mission is to help the student and his or her parents search intelligently for a continuum of “great fit” schools, to maximize a student’s potential through personalized guidance in developing the student profile and application essays – while at the same time de-stressing the overall process.
