Our family can help your family.

We are Toronto’s experts in college and university consulting. For over 15 years we’ve helped bright young minds get into schools that best suit their needs.

American College Consulting is a family business. So we understand first hand the power and importance of family to a child’s success.

Our commitment to our clients is twofold:

  1. To always have their childs’ best interest at heart.

  2. To be empathetic professionals with whom your child can have open, honest conversations about what they need to thrive after high school.

Here are five compelling reasons to work with our admissions experts and college consultants.

  • Applying to American, UK, and even Canadian schools is a lengthy, complex process for students and parents alike. At any point throughout the process, arguments may erupt and emotions may cloud sound judgment. A consultant can serve as a neutral third party who alleviates the enormous pressure on students, streamlines the application process, and provides parents with peace of mind that things will get done on time and in the right sequence.

  • There are thousands of U.S. schools, and each has something to offer your child. Understanding each school’s advantages and disadvantages, deciphering “admissions speak”, and seeing beyond the slick marketing is not for the faint of heart. A consultant can cut through the noise so you can spend less time worrying and more time guiding and encouraging your child.

  • Attending school outside of Canada is a serious financial commitment that can cost over $400,000. A consultant can help identify schools offering merit scholarships or other incentives that reduce this burden.

    A consultant can also recommend schools where your child has the best chance of fitting in and therefore greatly reducing the likelihood—and cost—of transferring schools.

  • Good schools can afford to be selective. While high school guidance counselors are valuable resources, as generalists, they seldom have in-depth experience with the American, Canadian, or UK systems.

  • A good consultant will take the time to learn about your child’s strengths and will show them how to articulate these qualities effectively. This, along with the support received throughout the application process, will ensure your child enters university with confidence, ready for this exciting stage in their lives.
