If you’ve got a kid in high school, there’s a good chance you’ve already started thinking about college. Or maybe you’ve intentionally kept those thoughts at bay, since the whole thing is pretty overwhelming. Beyond the fact that the best schools are super competitive … where do you even start? There are so many schools!

Luckily for you and your teen, an Upper West Sider recently launched a new college consulting biz with a unique approach.

“Lindsay is a great mentor, both professionally and academically. Working with her helped me prioritize my extracurriculars, cement my application, and gain acceptance to my top schools!” – Alex, a college student.

Lindsay Francis, the founder and CEO of College Success NYC (CSNYC)–who’s personally coached students through the process for more than five years, helping them get accepted into Ivy League institutions, state schools and beyond–knows it takes a lot more than a polished application.

While traditional college consulting companies tend to offer brief, transactional services, CSNYC provides comprehensive, long-term guidance tailored to students of all skill levels from grades 7-12. Their unique approach focuses on fostering academic, personal, and professional growth, empowering each student to set goals and shape their ideal college experience.

CSNYC offers both in-person and virtual sessions and can work with students on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.

CSNYC also helps students secure meaningful internships, guides their involvement in extracurricular activities, and helps them develop critical-thinking and soft skills, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in college and beyond. Here’s their list of services.

“We believe in college consulting for the ‘whole student’,” Francis says.

CSNYC is offering ILTUWS readers one free hour-long session when they purchase any package (just mention this article!). For more information on College Success NYC or to schedule a free 15-minute consultation, please visit www.collegesuccessnyc.com.
