What We Do

1

Stress-free Environment

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.

Finding the Best Fit College

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.

Return on Investment

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.

Working with Jodi was one of the best decisions I made during my college application process! From starting working with her in my sophomore year to receiving acceptance to my dream school, Jodi was very supportive, knowledgeable, and attentive to my unique goals and interests! Her expertise provided insightful advice throughout the application process from refining essays, preparing for interviews, and everything in between. Jodi’s feedback was always thoughtful and constructive.

"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!"

Working with Custom College Consulting was a pleasure for our son and family and we highly recommend them. Navigating the college application process and finding the right fit can be overwhelming with the vast amount of information and advice available. Jodi served as an invaluable guide, helping us understand the decision-making process, setting a clear roadmap, providing practical step-by-step actions, and giving us the necessary push when needed. As a result, the application process was minimally stressful, the work was completed efficiently, and applications were submitted early. Our son was accepted to a great school where we believe he will thrive. We are immensely grateful for Jodi and highly recommend Custom College Consulting.
