Our mission is to provide each student with the knowledge, strategies, and skills necessary to succeed in any academic setting.

College placement is an art, not a science. Each student is a unique individual and must approach the college selection process differently, based on his needs and interests. With this belief, I founded First Choice College Placement in 1999. Since then we have worked with students from all over the United States, and from as far as Saudi Arabia, and Trinidad and Tobago, on an individual basis, helping those students determine their individual needs and attain their educational goals. We work with all types of students: from the hyper-academic to those who are struggling, those who know exactly where they want to go and those who have no idea where they might like to be. We succeed in educational counseling by understanding primarily that:

• By providing an efficient, but laid-back atmosphere, students can prepare for college, standardized tests, and the application process in a way which alleviates panic and frustration.
• It is necessary to give each student, no matter their academic standing, an equal effort to find a college that suits the student and his ideals.
• We can provide ample options and information on the financial aid process to any family, no matter their financial capabilities.
• We hire intelligent, understanding, and friendly tutors to aid students with SAT, ACT, study skills, and academic tutoring.
• We have no "typical student," and there is always an abundance of options for each student and her family to choose the college most suitable for the student.

What Makes Us Different?

As college admissions becomes increasingly competitive, you may have noticed the proliferation of educational consultants. Many students are finding that schools their older siblings gained acceptance to are not accepting them, even with better grades, better SAT scores, and a stronger resume of activities. Guidance to help students and their families with the admissions process is a growing necessity. We are different because:

• Our consultants keep their knowledge current by constantly visiting college campuses, reading educational journals, and attending conferences. Click here for a list of colleges they have visited.
• Our company works with the entire family rather than just the student, as the college decision is often a family decision that affects all members financially and emotionally.
• We are available at all times to individually walk you through the process.
• Our consultants are experts on the Financial Aid Process, and can help you integrate the quality of college financial aid programs into your college search.
• We have experts in athletic placement on staff to help you successfully market your son or daughter to the appropriate college programs, based on both their academic and athletic needs.
