Campus View Consulting works with Both students and parents to help navigate the college search and application process. We are passionate about finding the right school for each student
This complex process has become more confusing with test optional policies, increasingly competitive admissions, and overwhelming access to virtual visits
Through in-depth conversations, surveys and analysis of a student’s academics, interests, and financial means, we craft a balanced list of schools that will be a good academic, social, and financial fit. We then guide the student through the application process, ensuring that nothing gets missed.
