”Thank you for giving her the tools to recognize her dreams and for the overwhelming dedication you provided to not only our daughter but our family along the way. Honestly, having you in our corner was the best decision we could have made to support all of her hard work and efforts these past 4 years.

Why Choose CollegeNod®?
CollegeNod provides personalized, comprehensive consultation services to a limited number of students. There is no maximum number of applications and no limit to meetings, conversations, or emails from the initial consultation through the college decision.
CollegeNod does not ‘position’ students to appeal to colleges; instead, we help students discover their own unique qualities and passions and, in their applications, demonstrate how they can enhance the college community with their talents, skills, and interests.
When should my student start with CollegeNod®?
CollegeNod’s comprehensive college planning and preparation process is appropriate as early as 8th Grade, in order to take advantage of four years of guidance in academic, extracurricular, summer experience, and financial considerations. While some students start with CollegeNod in their junior or senior year and experience successful application seasons, four full years of guidance are included in the comprehensive package fee. Starting early with academic and extracurricular planning helps students build confidence and develop areas of interest in a relaxed manner. For parents, an early start helps with smart financial planning to maximize financial aid and merit scholarship offers from colleges.

THE COLLEGENOD® PROCESS IDENTIFIES EACH STUDENT’S BEST-FIT COLLEGES
CollegeNod uses a data-driven process to match students’ aptitudes, interests, and preferences with colleges where they will thrive. Students complete an in-depth suite of assessments to gain a multi-dimensional understanding of their strengths and unique qualities. The assessments include college readiness, learning style, personality type, aptitude identification, interpersonal preferences, career matching, college feature preferences, and identification of potential courses of study.
Each student’s college list is curated expressly for them. The personalized list will include schools that are all a great fit in three areas: academic, social, and financial. To assure the highest probability of acceptance, the college list will include schools in three categories:
- ADMISSION IS LIKELY
- ADMISSION IS POSSIBLE
- ADMISSION IS A REACH

”Mindy helped me settle on the type of college experience I wanted - small, selective liberal arts colleges on the East Cost and on a major - neuroscience and psychology. Finally, I had a clear sense of direction. Mindy helped me channel it into developing a college list and supported me at every step of the application process with ideas, information, and resources.
