What is College Consulting with BWS?

BWS offers customized advisement for students in the college search, college admissions, scholarship research, and college selection processes. Whether you need just an hour of help editing your application essay, or if you need comprehensive guidance from the beginning to the end of the college application process, we have a solution for you. You can sign up for our college consulting services using our secure online registration form.

What makes BWS better than other college application services?

  • We have years of proven results, with our college consulting students earning admission to top colleges: Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Notre Dame, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, and the University of Pennsylvania.
  • We take a holistic approach to admissions, helping students improve their weaknesses and highlight their strengths. No matter the area–the essay, the interview, SAT/ACT, or compiling the application–we can help.
  • We customize our services for each individual student, recognizing that each student has unique questions and concerns.
  • We hold ourselves to the highest ethical and professional standards. We will never write an essay for a student; we only assist with brainstorming and editing. We will never suggest a student submit something false in an application; we ensure that a student’s true self shines through.
