Our Students Have Been Admitted To…

Over the past 14 years of working with teenagers and their families on college applications, we’ve noticed that many families are familiar with only a few well-known schools—typically Ivy League universities or those with strong athletic programs. Most students recognize just 15-20 universities, often because they see them on hats, sweatshirts, sports broadcasts, or because a friend or relative attended one. 

At Today’s College Solutions, we focus on finding the best-fit college for each student, considering their academic, social and geographic preferences. We’ve helped students gain admission to a wide variety of fantastic colleges and universities—many of which you might not have heard of but could be perfect for the right student.
