What age or grade should I start working with a college consultant?

It’s never too early to start! While many students begin in 11th or 12th grade, we also work with freshmen and sophomores to build strong academic, extracurricular, and personal foundations early on. The earlier we start, the more strategic we can be—but we’re here to help at any stage.

Do you help students who don’t know what they want to study yet?

Absolutely. Many students are still exploring their interests, and part of our process is helping you discover what excites you. Through mentorship, career exploration, and course planning, we’ll guide you toward a path that feels right for you—no pressure, just support.

What makes PublishPath different from other consulting services?

We combine personalized mentorship with real-world opportunities. Our team includes professionals from Fortune 500 companies, leading research institutions, and top universities. You’ll get access to essay support, research opportunities, and one-on-one guidance designed around you, not a template.

Do you offer help with just one part of the process, like essays or SAT prep?

Yes! While many families choose our full-package support, we also offer à la carte services like essay editing, SAT coaching, resume help, and more. Whether you need guidance with one piece or the full puzzle, we’re here to help.
