At College Advising Team, we are committed to equitably advising students and early professionals, expanding access and opportunity in college and career exploration. Our mission is to empower individuals to pursue fulfilling academic and professional paths with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind, while building transferable skills, self-awareness, and lasting personal growth.

Lasting Relationships, Meaningful Right-Fit Outcomes

We build meaningful, long-term relationships with students and families grounded in trust and personalized guidance. Our goal is not to steer students toward specific institutions, but to help them identify and apply to colleges that truly fit their academic strengths, social preferences, and emotional needs.

A Mission Rooted in Access, Clarity, and Student Growth

College Advising Team was founded on the belief that access to informed, strategic guidance can transform a student’s educational trajectory. Our leadership brings experience from university admissions offices, career centers, nonprofit mentorship programs, and professional industries — offering both insider perspective and practical real-world insight. Our mission is not simply to help students gain admission to colleges or graduate programs; it is to equip them with lifelong skills in planning, communication, time management, and self-advocacy. We believe that every student has a unique story worth telling and that thoughtful mentorship can help bring that story into focus. By combining structure with encouragement, strategy with empathy, we help students move forward with confidence and direction.
