We believe that since every student is different, it is critical to tailor our work to their specific needs. By spending one-on-one time and evaluating the personality types and learning styles of each student, we develop a comprehensive plan that caters to their particular strengths and aptitudes. As a team, we will create a realistic timeline, proper oversight, and communication to make the college planning journey as stress-free as possible.
There are over 5,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. today and thousands more around the globe. Our goal is to find the best college fit for our students based on their unique personalities and goals. Our counselors have visited hundreds of schools domestically and abroad while developing relationships at colleges and universities to help our clients navigate the often confusing admissions process.
Our team works with families to create an achievable financial plan to pay for college without sacrificing other financial goals. Our deep understanding of the financial aid process will help families avoid costly mistakes. We also assist clients in taking advantage of the thousands of scholarships and merit opportunities available to students.
"I have to send a heartfelt thank you to Jodi for her kindness, wisdom, and excellence. Because of her I got into my dream school and am the first in my family to attend an ivy league. First, Jodi provides the road map. Getting my test scores up to par, guiding me in my essay, and walking me through my choices with precise and consistent guidance and information. She is an expert in the field. She knows exactly what candidates should have and will help you make informative choices and truly kept you motivated and passionate during this process. I needed her advice. My fears were my test scores, where she recommended an affordable course that increased my score considerably. I had no idea how to start my essay and she outlined a series of prompts that helped me write an passionate essay that clearly showcased who I am and what I aim to do. Each and every step reading and re-reading my materials, having a strategic plan, and even having an in-person prep interview with tough questions that left me so confident I nailed my interview the following week. Thank you Jodi. My dreams were not possible without your help!"
"Mrs. Jodi Glou was instrumental in providing guidance and support throughout the college application process. Her help, unwavering dedication, and availability were exceptionally helpful in our twin boys' college choice. Our boys both got into their first choices, The United States Naval Academy and Purdue University. We couldn't have done it without Mrs. Jodi's support and attention to detail. I encourage every parent to look into professional advice regarding their kid's college application. Mrs. Jodi was the perfect fit for us throughout our kids' junior and senior years. Her knowledge, experience, and dedication to her students are exceptional! We remain grateful for all your help and genuine care!
We love you Mrs. Jodi!"

"I started the college process with a goal but no clue how to reach it; Jodi helped me achieve that goal. With every question I had, Jodi answered them thoroughly and in a timely manner.
Jodi went out of her way to get to know me as a person.
When I was struggling, I not only had a counselor but also a friend. She knew exactly how to help me and get me to the end of the process! I could not be happier with my experience and am excited to be attending my dream school next fall. I could not have done it all without her."
