About Us

College Covered is a team of talented professionals— including teachers, counselors, professors, editors, and writers— who have more than 100 years of college and high school teaching and counseling experience. The depth of our knowledgebase ensures that we can answer any question or offer a sympathetic ear for every concern.

Choosing the right college has never been more important than it is today. More employers require a college degree of their employees than at any time in history. At the same time, identifying, applying for, and gaining acceptance to the right college has become more cumbersome and confusing than ever. That didn’t seem right to us. Because a college education is an enormous investment on so many levels, College Covered helps students and their families get organized and cut through the clutter.

Program

No two students are the same, so College Covered tailors its services to the needs and desires of each individual. Our comprehensive range of services is designed to set every student on his or her own path to a quality college education.

Direction Counseling
Our comprehensive approach couples assessment with counseling to ensure that each student follows the college preparatory plan best designed to meet his or her individual goals.

Academic Structuring:
Presenting the Clearest Picture
We tirelessly help students structure their education, volunteerism, and extracurricular life to offer colleges the clearest and most complete picture of their skills and abilities.

Test Preparation
Our one-on-one ACT, SAT, and PSAT test preparation programs focus on preparedness and stress-elimination by increasing familiarity and establishing proven testing strategies and tactics.

College Investigation
Leave the college investigation legwork to College Covered. We research students’ options and present a comprehensive evaluation of colleges that most closely match students’ goals and aspirations.

Paying for College
We take college cost and funding, often considered the most tenuous aspect of college planning, and codify it. The money saved by this step alone can often cover the cost of our program several times over.

Application Process
We streamline the application process, eliminate the guesswork, and monitor all deadlines and due dates, so our clients don’t have to.

Ready, Set, Go!
Where other college counseling services end, we keep going. Our services don’t stop with college acceptance. Instead, we ensure that students are fully prepared for their first day of college—from room and board to program planning and class schedule.

FAQs

When is the best time to start with College Covered?
The best time to start our program is when you are ready to do so. Each program is individually tailored to your circumstances, so you determine the timeframe and the urgency. The old adage, “the early bird gets the worm,” could be no more true than in the college planning process—it’s never too early to start. Likewise, it’s never too late, either. Every student can get on a sound educational path.

My student isn’t a straight “A” student. Can he still get into a good college?
College covered will help every student assess his or her interests, abilities, history, and ambitions and choose the best-matched educational path. Every realistic goal is achievable, but the paths to reach that goal are as varied as each individual student.

My student wants to play sports in college. Do you work with students to optimize their chances of getting on a college team?
Often, the activities in which a student participates are equally, if not more, important than academic ones. We work with students in a holistic manner and make sure that colleges fully match the students’ plan and offer every opportunity expected. We arrange the necessary interviews and prepare each student for all NCAA eligibilities.

Can you guarantee that my student will get into the college of his/her choosing?
We promise to work tirelessly to understand and educate students and their families and help them make the best decisions for them, produce the strongest application they can, and give themselves the best chance to succeed. We cannot, however, guarantee admission to any particular college or university.

We want to visit the colleges on our list. Can College Covered help us arrange campus tours?
As our name suggests, we’ve got college covered. When students get to the College Investigation step in our program, we coordinate all aspects of campus visits. We do everything we can to make the college visit as enjoyable and informative as possible.

How is College Covered different from other college counseling services?
College Covered is best described as a college planning service. While similar programs offer fine services, they tend to mimic the high school counselor. We don’t. Like these other programs, we too offer general counseling services, but we take it further and fully “cover” the process of investigating, planning, applying, enrolling, and paying for the best possible college education.

Is partnering with College Covered really worth it?
College Covered streamlines the college admission process by offering a comprehensive seven-tier program to prepare students for their first day of college. Our counseling services allow families to focus on their students’ actual education while eliminating the guesswork and tedium of the college admissions process. Given soaring higher education costs, it is more important than ever to make the right decisions. The results achieved by our Paying for College step often cover the cost of our services.
