College Planning Consultant, Full-Time (Apex, NC)

Who are we?

Advantage College Planning coaches high school students through the college planning process to ensure each student's success. We define our success as working to make the process as stress-free as possible (even having some fun!) and finding colleges that fit our students: academically, socially, and financially.

Our ultimate goal is to see our students survive the college planning process (while keeping the relationship with their parents intact), go off to a college that fits, and graduate in a timely fashion. Although acceptance into the Ivy League is exciting, it's certainly not how we define our success.

How do we do this?

We get to know our students really well and learn what makes them tick. We meet with them one-on-one, make good recommendations on colleges to consider (by heavily researching and visiting schools), and walk students through each step of the process.

We enjoy being the neutral third party students listen to and trust and enable parents to take a step back from being the nag. We take pride in the relationships we build with both students and parents, and it shows in the result of our work.

What is it like to be an Advantage College Planning team member?

We are passionate about our work with high school students, we love professional development, we have an active book club, we have passion projects, we live by our team core values, we have autonomy over our schedule, and most importantly, we know how to have fun!
