You work exclusively with our founder and college app expert, Lara Kilgore

Your high schooler will work 1-on-1 with Lara Kilgore from start to Submit of the college application process. Every meeting is 1-on-1, and she only works with a small number of students every year to ensure individualized attention. With 7+ years helping students get into the college or university of their choice, Lara brings her expertise and proprietary knowledge to the college application process.

Getting your high schooler into the colleges that best fit

There are nearly 6,000 universities and colleges in the US. Nobody has the time to research every one, that’s why Lara works alongside the student and parents to build a School List that fits their degree/major interest and career goals.
Not sure what career they’re interested in? We use the Highlands Aptitude Assessment.

Start early

With acceptance rates decreasing every year, waiting till July before senior year no longer works. If you want to avoid the stress, we recommend reaching out as early as 9th grade. That allows Lara to strategize with your student on activities and classes to explore as well as get a jumpstart on exploring colleges.
