our Personalized College action plan
Although college is one of the most important investments in a student's life, it is also one of the most expensive. Most private four year schools cost more than $200,000.00 by the time of graduation. With College Docs you can be confident that such a significant expense is put toward the right college or university for your student; a place where they can excel both academically and socially. While working with us, you have access to seasoned college admissions professionals at every step of the way for upwards of two years, from as early as your student's sophomore year to the final acceptance into the college of his or her choice. We are sure you will find our fees competitive for college admissions consultation and well worth the investment.
